Title: Introducing the Serailler family
Product review: Susan Hill is such an accomplished writer that it is a great news for detective story fans to find she has now branched out in this direction.The Seraillers are a medical family with one exception - Simon who, to his intolerant father's disgust, fast-tracks his way up the CID ladder. Thus he is in charge of the case when women start disappearing from Lafferton. His high-achieving family and the market town where they all live are painted in with colourful brush-strokes. This provides a fine contrast to the central mystery which concerns a serial killer with an unusual motivation and a personable exterior.Because Susan Hill spends time building up her characters, we do care when the psychopath starts murdering his innocent victims and the last death is a shocking body-blow.
