5 stars
About the book:
Young women are being raped and murdered
A young soldier is raped on Aldershot Garrison
Are the two connected?
Sgt Major Crane, a Branch detective in the Royal Military
Police is unwillingly dragged into an Aldershot Police investigation after a
young girl is raped and murdered, because witnesses describe the killer as a
young soldier. He is also dealing with his own case, the repeated rape and
bullying of a soldier on Aldershot Garrison. Can Crane find the murderer before
he strikes again? Will Crane bring the rapist to justice?

My 5 point review:
1. Classic crime drama in book form - If you love the crime
drama shows on tv (I do), then you’ll like this book. Think along the lines of Law and Order in
book form
2. Sgt. Major Crane is an endearing character - I love this
character. He’s great. He’s the type of book detective that you can
easily get hooked on. I’ve already
snagged a couple more of her books that I ran across on free promos.
3. Part about his wife and the new baby particularly good -
Along with the main story of the crime series that he’s trying to solve, there’s
a sub-story of him and his wife and their new baby, that I just love. I mean, here he is trying to catch this
rapist/murderer, and he makes time to help his wife in dealing with a new baby.
4. Other characters great too - Sgt. Major Crane doesn’t do
it alone. The other characters in the book
are great too. The writer has surrounded
him with a great cast.
5. Put me in mind of Sherlock Holmes books when reading it -
I’m a huge Sherlock Holmes fan, and love the books. These books put me somewhat in mind of those
that Conan Doyle wrote. Could Sgt. Major
Crane be the Holmes of our modern era?
He’s the best candidate I’ve ran across lately.
