This is the third book in the series and my first introduction to ex-MI6 turned private investigator, Joe Wilde.
The author certainly doesn’t shy away from controversial and unpleasant story lines and Hidden Truth is perhaps not one for those of a delicate disposition.
As seems to be the way, both Joe Wilde and DI Carl Whatmore are working multiple cases – one of which involves a pair of lack lustre killers who specialise in a rather brutal line of delivery. This book is the third in the Joe Wilde series – I haven’t yet read the first two and found that Hidden Truth worked fine as a standalone.
Joe Wilde will be a hit with fans of the genre, and I give my thanks to the author and Rachel’s Random Resources for my place on this blog tour.
Blurb: Private Investigator Joe Wilde is investigating the murder of Philippa Redmond a former Labour MP. She had been found dead in her sauna over the Christmas holidays six weeks ago. The majority of her family had been staying with her at the time, but the police didn’t regard any of them as suspects. Evidence suggested an intruder had got into her home.
Joe also takes on a cold case of a missing woman named Julie Turnbull. She had disappeared six years ago without a trace. Meanwhile Joe’s good friend DI Whatmore is investigating the horrific murder of a woman who was burnt to death in her own home. His investigation crosses over with Joe’s missing person investigation. As they conduct their own investigations there are more killings.
DI Whatmore and Joe must join forces to track down a serial killer and solve a puzzling mystery, but doing so puts them and others in grave danger.
