Reviews for Tell Tale

[Rufus Saffron · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Shame but I didn't like it. Too much animal cruelty and dismissal of animals in general. Apart from the fact the protagonist doesn't like dogs, she's a shallow, almost autistic character. The whole thing lacks depth and it's tough to connect. Sad as it's a lengthy series. Unlikely cliche psychopaths written by psychopath? Not for me

Detective Inspector Charlotte Savage and her team are investigating a series of of gruesome attacks on young women. The victims are being drugged, abducted, assaulted and then abandoned. When the mutilated body of one of the women is found on a beach, the rape case turns into a murder inquiry. While the story itself is fairly standard for the police procedural genre, I did like Charlotte a lot. She's not filled with angst and she's very professional. She heads her team in a believable way and while we didn't get a lot of character nuances, it may be because this is the first book in the series. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who doesn't like gritty mysteries but the price was certainly right.......free on Kindle. There are currently five books in the series so I might check another out in the future.

A graphic and violent crime novel featuring the first outing of DI Charlotte Savage. I'm not sure it was necessary to be quite so graphic in detailing the various assaults and murders which take ploace. However this is tempered by a good description of how painstaking research and detective work finally reaps rewards.
