The dogwalker by Stewart Giles.
Di Jason Smith book 23.
Detective Smith has lost count of how many times a murder investigation has been set in motion with a dogwalker finding a body. So when the mutilated corpse of a woman is found by a man taking his four-legged friend for a stroll, it doesn't sound any warning bells.
I didn't like Paul Young who found the body. I didn't trust him at all. I do like Smith and Whitton. Very twisty and gripping. I do hope there is more to come. I love this series. 5*.
Blurb.
Detective Smith has lost count of how many times a murder investigation has been set in motion with a dogwalker finding a body. So when the mutilated corpse of a woman is found by a man taking his four-legged friend for a stroll, it doesn't sound any warning bells.
But when the same man makes a second gruesome discovery, Smith's senses are on high alert.
When the dogwalker stumbles upon a third brutally mudered woman, Smith knows there's more to this meek-mannered dog lover than meets the eye.
But, no matter how deep he digs, Smith can't find anything that links him to any of the victims.
Is it really a case of bizarre coincidence, or is the dogwalker going to be the one who finally outsmarts Detective Sergeant Jason Smith?
