Death Bed: A Detective Geraldine Steel Mystery

By Leigh Russell

Two brutal murders. No witnesses.

The battered bodies of two young girls are discovered in North London, one shortly after the other. Desperate to avoid hysteria in the community, the police struggle to make a quick arrest before the deranged killer can strike again. Not having any luck, Detective Geraldine Steel, recently transferred to London, is called in to make sense of the grisly murders and the killer's unusual signature: he extracts two teeth from each of his victims. With the death toll mounting, Geraldine is running out of time as she hunts for the elusive killer the papers have dubbed "The Dentist."

[daftboy1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is the first Geraldine Steel book I have read.I enjoyed this book DI Steel has moved to London from Kent She is investigating some brutal murders of two black women. She and her colleagues at the Met think it might have racial connections. A few loose red herrings and 2 more people go missing a white woman and a gay White man. Steel and her sargent Sam catch the serial killer but its too late to save the last 2 victims. Good book this I will look out for other similar books.
