Juliet Grey is a psychotherapist working in London. She receives a text message from a withheld number that starts a voyage of discovery for her.
I found this crime thriller to be an okay read. There were plenty of codes that became clues for Juliet to decipher from anonymous text, email and voice messages. There was a good range of suspects who fit the frame. There was plenty of detail that pointed to each suspect. But a lot of things were convenient for Juliet and the plot. There was no need for Juliet to stick her nose into the police investigation. It was unrealistic how Juliet could work alongside the police in the solving of the murders.
The writing of the story made for a cosy read but as it went on became a little tiresome. When the police thought the bad guy may have gone away I would have been happy for the book to end as unsolved crimes. I found it a little tiresome towards the end but ALL the loose ends were tied up in the epilogue, which is good. One guy I had big suspicions about did not have ANY part to play in the crimes and this book was GOOD at misdirection.
Although I found the plot AVERAGE, I did enjoy the extra bits concerning Juliet's day job and the inclusion of a character with Asperger's. It was good to see our world from a different mindset. All in all, I found this book to be a 3 star bread and butter read.
The Evil Beneath was written in 2013 and is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook.
