Lamb to the Slaughter - Aline Templeton - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

If you''re looking for a gripping new crime series, you''ll love Aline Templeton. Featuring DI Marjory Fleming - ''Big Marge'' - and set in Galloway. If you enjoy novels by Ann Cleeves, Faith Martin, Val McDermid and LJ Ross, try Lamb to the Slaughter . ''The crime czar of the Scottish small town!'' Val McDermid A sunny evening, a tranquil garden - and an old man brutally gunned down on his doorstep. In the pretty and tranquil market town of Kirkluce, a proposed superstore development has divided the population in an increasingly bitter war. The low-level aggression of bored youth that is generally tolerated has become sinister . The bloodied carcass of a sheep abandoned in the streets is more than just unpleasant vandalism and teenage bikers, terrorising a woman to breaking point, are impossible to control. When a second victim is killed in what seems a random shooting, the fear in the town becomes tangible. DI Fleming will not accept that the crimes are motiveless, but she struggles to make sense of the two murders, when nothing makes sense any more and no one will believe anything. Not even the truth. Reader reviews: ''Once again a roller coaster of a ride to the truth. Her knack of keeping you thinking is outstanding'' ''Th is is a brilliant read, enhanced by the personalities of the characters'' ''DI Fleming is such a great character, each book is a joy to read ''

But it''s harder still when DS Tam MacNee discovers that it isn''t simply a tragic accident. Was it just the act of vandals, bored in a fishing port stricken with unemployment? Could it be linked to the drugs trade which has taken root in the locality? Or is there someone who, in their determination to kill one person, is callous enough to take two innocent lives? And if so, who is the intended victim? As DI Marjory Fleming and her team investigate multiple murders, with a whole community hungry for justice, the pressure - professional and personal - is on. Reader reviews: ''I almost feel DI Marjory Fleming is part of my family'' ''This has everything I ask of a book; well written with an absorbing plot, believable characters that give a real sense of a community.
