Fatal Endings by Anita Waller

 The cover of Fatal Endings by Anita Waller, reviewed by Is This Mutton.

Dear friends. A different spin on a police procedural today because we're in the hands of the Forrester Detective Agency. The world of its owner, former cop Matt, and his partner Karen, a detective inspector, collide in this exciting tale of a revenge killing. 

I'm on the blog tour for Fatal Endings by Anita Waller. 


Publisher's Description

When the murdered body of a woman is found in a Sheffield carpark, former cop turned private investigator Matt Forrester finds himself embroiled in the case, because the last call the victim made was to him. 

But the case isn’t as simple as the drug theft it looks like, and – when a young boy becomes the next victim – Matt and his life partner, DI Karen Nelson, realise they’re investigating a terrifying series of revenge killings.

Arrests start to be made, but enemies are being made. And, as the killings continue, nobody is safe.


My Thoughts

This is the third book in the Forrester Detective Agency series but can be read on its own. It was my first introduction to Matt, a former detective inspector who now runs the agency, and his partner Karen, a detective inspector.  The characters are fully rounded and we care about them and their lives. The detective work is precise but warm hearted.

Waller creates a very compelling narrative.  The body of a woman is found near a shopping precinct and it's assumed to be linked to drugs. The woman was known to Matt's agency. But another killing makes it clear police are searching for a revenge killer.

There's a shock as police hunt down the killer, with a gripping finale that had me on the edge of my seat.

I really enjoyed this and will look out for more from this author.
