Summary

There's a secret, that much is certain, but who knows? The missing actress? The executive producer, his eavesdropping assistant? Or the actor who portrayed her fictional brother on the Soap Opera?

DCI Isaac Cook of the Murder Investigation Team at Challis Street Police Station in London is searching for the missing woman.

Why has he been taken away from more important crimes to search for the woman? It's not the first time she's gone missing, and why does everyone assume she's been murdered?

Profile Image for Norma Miles

"Another rent-a-lay."

I really thought that I would love this book.
Direct writing, unusual plot beginning - who could resist the opening sentence of a murder mystery book that a murder was tricky when ' you don't have a body, a suspect or a motive'? But the tale was awash with so many named people, very !little actual character building just a load of fairly unpleasant people obsessed with sex with anyone other than their permanent partner, husband or wife, even the investigation officers. Perhaps it would have been to have had a list of the names of the various protagonists at the begging then at least I might have been able to keep track of which Richard was who.
An uncomfortable tale which narrator Liam Gerrard was unable to save. What a pity.
