Cordon of Lies by Wendy Cartmell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Can a clever killer stop Crane from investigating?

Two murders of army wives are ten years apart, but the details are too similar to ignore. At least Crane isn't willing to ignore them, regardless of the pressure to stop investigating. This killer is clever, ruthless, and willing to target family members to put a stop to the investigation. Crane must invent new strategies to skirt the "cordon of lies" protecting the devious psychopath, but this investigation gets him in trouble with his own wife and superiors. What is more important? Catching a killer or protecting...Can't give you more information. You'll need to read this book to discover the truth.

Cartmell knows how British military works and how secrets can get buried. She tells a compelling story, making the reader care about her characters. This is the fourth in the series, but it stands alone, giving enough information that a new reader doesn't feel cheated. You can always go back and read the others, but get this one today.
