Dark is the Day blurb

DI Jim Carruthers has to put his personal feelings for newly- appointed DCI Sandra McTavish aside when a young student is brutally attacked and left for dead.

Meanwhile, when a university lecturer is stalked by one of her own students, Carruthers is horrified to discover that the academic is none other than his ex-wife, Mairi. Are the attacker and stalker one and the same, and if so, will Carruthers’ ex-wife be next?

When a second then a third victim is discovered, not only dead but mutilated, Carruthers and his team are tasked with searching for a murderer. A murderer who takes great pleasure from killing.

What is the victims’ connection to a cult in North America, which seems to be getting a stranglehold in a Scottish university? Why have these women been targeted? And who is doing the killing?

It looks like there might be a serial killer on the loose in Castletown but can DI Jim Carruthers stop this depraved murderer before they strike again?

MY REVIEW

I really do need to stop putting myself into this situation. I read a book in a series that can be read as a standalone then I find myself wanting to read the previous books in the series. This is book four in the Inspector Jim Carruthers series. 

As a killer roams the streets DI Jim Carruthers must work with DS Andrea Fletcher to find out who it is. He’s also got to adjust to having a new boss DCI Sandra McTavish. Then to top it off Jim realises his ex wife could be in danger too.

This is a well told compelling read. When I wasn’t reading it I was thinking about it. I’ll certainly be reading more from this series.
