Synopsis

When a man dies in a gas explosion, the police suspect arson. The Murder Investigation Team are sent in to investigate. The case takes a new and terrible twist when a local villain is viciously attacked. As the police enquiries lead from the expensive Harchester Hill estate to the local brothel, a witness dies in a hit-and-run. Was it coincidence or cold-blooded murder? The Murder Investigation Team has problems of its own - and so does D.I. Geraldine Steel. A shocking revelation threatens her peace of mind as the investigation races towards its dramatic climax.

Review

In Road Closed, Leigh Russell has definitely upped the anti - it is a very lively plot that gets DI Geraldine Steel into quite a pickle. But it also shows that she can be quite naively rebellious to say the least, in order to get the murderer.

Once again the short chapters make this book a real page turner - and if I thought Cut Short was a brilliant debut, this book goes to a whole new level, which I enjoyed hugely.

Definitely one to recommend for all crime fiction fans.
