It made it easier to care about more of the characters, as well as to wonder who might be hiding something when part of their story was told but then the viewpoint moved on to someone else. Sometimes moving between characters can derail the plot, but I felt the author (Susie Steiner) handled it well and it added rather than detracted.
When Edith, a young Cambridge University student from a wealthy family, disappears shortly before Christmas leaving an open front door, blood splatter, and overturned furniture, it doesn’t look good.Īlthough Manon is the focal point, each chapter follows a different character to move the story along, including the missing woman’s best friend/lover Helena, Manon’s optimistic young partner Davy, and Edith’s mother Miriam. Manon is an unhappily single 39 year old, estranged from her father and sister, but very good at her job. For those who don’t read/watch way too much British murder of the week stories, DS is detective sergeant. This is the first in a series about DS Manon Bradshaw of the Cambridgeshire PD.
