Summary
From Anne Cleeland comes a captivating new mystery series following the perilous exploits of two Scotland Yard detectives as they track down London's most elusive killers.
First-year detective Kathleen Doyle is a plucky Irish redhead of humble origins and modest means. Chief Inspector Michael Acton is her antithesis: a British lord turned cop. He's tall, handsome, and enigmatic - to a fault. He also has a knack for solving London's most high-profile crimes. Acton selects Doyle out of the newbie squad to partner with him on a series of investigations because she always knows when someone is lying - a trait that comes in handy when interviewing suspects and witnesses.
Acton and Doyle are sent to investigate the murder of a trainer at a racetrack, and soon new killings related to the first start unfolding, dragging the two investigators into ever more perilous situations. But the real danger is the unlikely attachment that develops between the ultra-reserved, aristocratic chief inspector and his spirited, working-class sidekick... a relationship that will raise plenty of eyebrows - and hackles - among their colleagues at the Yard.

Was ok but annoying at times
Wasn’t wild about narrator and I didn’t like any of the characters wouldn’t bother with a follow up

Unbelievable story.
I'm Irish and I have never met another Irish person who talks or behaves like Doyle. She's described as poorly educated but she is a DC in the Met. Acton is almost without a personality yet persuades Doyle, a virgin, to marry him even though she knows nothing about him?

Great series and excellent book.
Loved the book and the series. A refreshing take on your usual crime novels with a twist of who the criminals are.

Fifty Shades Murder Mystery?
At first I thought the novel might be set in the 1950s considering the ‘Begosh & Begorrah’ way that the Irish female character spoke. Then, they started using cell phones and laptops and I just felt insulted by the character. I have never heard anyone in Ireland use her slang words although some are from the early 20th century! It is also impossible for someone to get an entry level position in CID without a University degree. Who on earth doesn’t understand the word ‘touché’ ? Is the female character’s lack of education meant to explain why she would attach herself to an older controlling man in authority who stalks her?
