Tangled Web - Ken Mclure


Book opens with a disabled baby going missing in a small Welsh village and the parents promptly getting done for the murder. The good news is that the local doctor, who is Scottish (and has a back story!!!! woohoo) thinks they are innocent and sets out to prove the case.

Naturally it being a fictional book no one agrees with him and he soon gets cast out for siding with the evil child killers. At the same time another story comes to light about a baby's body going missing and our clever doctor puts the two stories together and fights for the truth and justice - along the way falling for a vary tasty doctor who is attached to his investigation team.

This book is essentially a story of a very dodgy IVF clinic and some evil people with some very nasty plans, all excellently delivered in another quality British thriller.

Hopefully more of McClures work will turn up on the free list. I'll be buying more of his work once my 89 free book masterpiece is complete.

5/5

Trauma - Ken McClure















Another day, another freebie - this time set in Edinburgh it features a priest and a young female doctor (they fancy each other...) unravelling the dissapearence of a young child's body, dug up from the graveyard. Lots of death follows and plenty of sinister goings on, with a hint of witchcraft. I liked this one, a good classic murder story getting solved not by the police - why do these people never talk to the police when it is clear they should be talking to the police...
Liked it so much I started another of McClures books straight after - ohh another child's body has gone missing in this one - must be McClure's fave story line.

Only minus point was the ending which I thought was a bit lame.
4/5
