MEET ENZO MACLEOD, AND BEGIN THE ADDICTIVE COLD-CASE SERIES FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE LEWIS TRILOGY AND COFFIN ROAD. He flees along the north ambulatory; past the chapel of St Paul, the chapel of St Joseph and the Souls in Purgatory.

The white board approach to solving the crime was fun and interesting, it gave insight as to how connections were being made between the clues. He seeks the input of journalist Roger Raffin, who has recently published a book on the case and, together with Raffin's ex-partner Charlotte - a forensic psychologist - they team up to follow a series of tantalising but grisly clues. Having wagered that old murder cases could be solved using modern science, forensics expert Enzo Macleod must tackle the ‘cold’ case of Jacques Gaillard – but finds himself in danger when the investigation leads deep into the catacombs below Paris. This review and others are also published on Twitter, Instagram and my webpage https://sandysbookaday. The quest will enable Macleod to put to use his background as a forensic scientist and apply modern techniques in assessing the evidence, such as it is.In 1989, a killer dumped the body of twenty-year-old Lucie Martin into a picturesque lake in the West of France. While the book wasn't a classic it did manage to set the scene for the series and introduce the major characters. Without revealing the plot, it is has some of the best aspects of the tradition “cozy” mystery salted with bits of puzzles, romance and sexual situations for entertainment. Divorced in Scotland and widowed in France, he has an estranged Scottish daughter and a French daughter he has raised by himself. Deep in the catacombs below the City of Light, MacLeod unearths disturbing clues deliberately left behind by a killer.

There is a lot by way of coincidence, with things being stretched too far at times, yet you are pulled in. He was derailed by his love for a woman that had him leaving one family in Scotland to start a new one in France. His own feet slip and clatter as he scrambles through an alley between buttresses, heart squeezed by the hand of desperation.He met the love of his life, and that lightning-strike moment has a tendency to create a before-and-after in most people’s lives who are fortunate enough to ever meet their soulmate. It quickly has him touring landmarks such as the Paris catacombs and a chateau in Champagne, digging up relics and bones. Peter May is wonderful at setting the scene, yet with this one he is merely flaunting his travelling budget.
