Detective Inspector Kim Stone arrives at her new placement about to meet her new team. Her boss, DCI Woodward is not what Kim expects, but she knows that with her track record, it won't matter. She probably won't last any longer with this team than she has with her others. Woodward wants her to take time to get to know her team, but much to her relief, they are presented with a case almost immediately. The corpse of a man has been found with his head and genitals separated from his body. Kim isn't sure if she can trust her team to help her solve this case. DS Bryant is steady and pleasant, but not very dynamic. DC Stacey Wood is young, newly promoted, but inexperienced, and too much of a people pleaser. DS Kevin Dawson is lazy, arrogant, slovenly, and essentially homeless. Kim knows she has her job cut out for her if she is to make them into a team, and this case is going to be trial by fire for them. First Blood is the prologue to the D.I. Kim Stone series. It works well as an introduction to the characters, whose backgrounds we get through their memories of and interactions with family members and previous colleagues. In this book, the killer's voice is in italics throughout the story, giving hints as to his or her identity. The clues all point to one place, but the killer's identity remains a mystery right up to the end of the book. Overall, this is a very good beginning to this series whose main character reminds me of J.D. Robb's Eve Dallas and Marie Force's Sam Holland. First Blood takes us back to the first day that Stone and her team come together. This is an unusual group that respect Kim's skills and unconventional investigative techniques. I enjoyed finding out how the team came together, and a lot of the history behind each character. A must read is you love this series like I do. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"In the darkness of a cold December morning, Detective Kim Stone steps through the doors of Halesowen Police Station. She's about to meet her team for the first time. The victim of her next case is about to meet his killer...When the body of a young man is found beheaded and staked to the ground in a secluded woodland area of the Clent Hills, Kim and her new squad rush to the crime scene. Searching the victim's home, Kim finds a little girl's bedroom and a hidden laptop, but where is the child? And why does the man's own sister seem relieved that he's dead? As Kim begins to unearth the shocking truth about the victim, a disturbing resemblance is spotted with the recent murder of a man found beneath the staircase of Redland Hall with multiple stab wounds. Both these men had dark secrets and Kim discovers a link to a women's shelter. As a child of the care system herself, Kim knows all too well what it means to be vulnerable. Could the shelter be the key to cracking this case? With the killer about to strike again, Kim is in deep water with a rookie squad. Inexperienced Stacey is showing signs of brilliance but struggling to hold her nerve and, while D.S. Bryant is reliable and calm, D.S. Dawson is a liability. With his home life in pieces, his volatile behaviour is already fracturing her fragile new team. Can Kim bring Dawson in line and pull her crew together in time to catch the killer before another life is taken? This time, one of her own could be in terrible danger..."-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
