No Place to Die is the second novel to feature Mike Lockyer and his team
An ex policeman goes missing and blood traces are found in his home. Whilst trying to find him, another body, that of a young woman is found in a tomb. The two case appear to be linked but due to legal restrictions the police are limited in their investigation.
The novel is gripping and fast paced. Jane, the lead detective is under immense pressure. She is friends with Mark, the detective who is missing, is trying to solve the murder of the young women and guilt over not being able to spend more time with her young son. Lockyer is a mess from the previous case but has to get more involved when the investigation takes a different turn.
I really liked this novel. I haven’t read the previous book Never Look Back and even though the story was hinted at nothing was revealed. Clare Donoghue is an author I would read again starting with the first in this series.
