Hillary's Back!

DI Hillary Greene, Book 18

By: Faith Martin

Narrated by: Alison Campbell

Eighteen months after Hillary suffered a personal tragedy, she is throwing herself into her work to try to get over it.

Former soldier Gareth Proctor joins her team and finds himself quickly growing to enjoy his new environment.

The first cold case he works on is the murder of Andrew Feeley.

In 2012, this twenty-one-year-old was found dead in the woods near his home, killed by a single stab wound to the chest from his own knife.

Andrew was extremely unpopular. He was a drug dealer, pimp and bully. His stepdad was one of the main suspects, as they hated each other and often came to blows. Other suspects include Toby Truman and his mother Debbie. Andrew was responsible for getting Toby hooked on drugs.

Given Andrew's criminal background, his murder is thought to be drug-related.

But Hillary's not buying it—she knows it's personal. And a search of the Feeleys' garden turns up some chilling evidence.

unsatisfactory and not as interesting as previous stories.

I don’t find any satisfaction in the solving of a cold case that involves the murder of a bad guy that’s better dead than alive especially when the killer is a victim of that person. As the new guy stated, I’m sure there are many more deserving cold cases with victims that are truly missed. I don’t see the super choosing this case among all the others. Might not be a popular opinion however I think police resources should be focused on finding killers of good or vulnerable people not wife beating, drug dealers.
