Soulseeker
ONE MAN WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO FIND THE HUMAN SOUL
Detective Inspector Alex Menzies starts her first day in a new job with a call to the scene of a terrible murder. The body of a young man has been left on a funeral pyre with a hole in the middle of his forehead. The investigation into the bizarre killing is lead by Alex’s new boss Detective Superintendent Tom Russell.
A vicious, bigoted racist is the first suspect but within days the city is shocked by the discovery of another mutilated and burned body. The killer’s signature is a small cross placed in the victim’s hand and the terrifying possibility of the city’s first serial killer in over forty years gives the police investigators a challenge that will tax all their skills and combined experience.
New victims are found and with each death the case becomes more puzzling and the police more desperate. As fear grips Glasgow, the investigative team must find the Soulseeker before he kills again in his search for the truth about the human soul.

The soulseeker has been a very good story. I was left turning page after page wondering who was the serial killer.
The story flowed nicely and all ends were tied up. Alex and Russell had another battle on their hands to find out who was causing chaos in Glasgow. Body after body showed up until finally they found out who was guilty.
I never would have guessed in a million years.

Move over Lee Child, Ian Rankin,Peter May, I've found me a new author.Soul seeker is my kind of book; well-written, great characters that you could connect with. For me it was a page-turner and I got the baddie wrong-guessed. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Thought it was time for a change of genre.... could have picked a better book. Predictable and pedestrian is probably the best I can say about this. Much touted as a 'local' book with Glasgow dialect... must have blinked and missed that. Really, really needed a good editor

Thoroughly enjoying this author, this was a very good plot and I've been to a lot of places the story takes us to.
