Book Review: See No Evil (DI Grace Archer #2) By David Fennell

Hi Cara,

Today I am reviewing See No Evil. This is the second book by David Fennell that follows DI Grace Archer as she solves a murders in London. 

 

Synopsis

Two men are found dead in London's Battersea Park. One of the bodies has been laid out like a crucifix - with his eyes removed and placed on his open palms.

Detective Inspector Grace Archer and her caustic DS, Harry Quinn, lead the investigation. But when more bodies turn up in a similar fashion, they find themselves in a race against time to find the sadistic killer.

The hunt leads them to Ladywell Playtower in Southeast London, the home to a religious commune lead by the enigmatic Aaron Cronin. Archer and Quinn suspect Cronin's involvement but his alibis are watertight, and the truth seemingly buried. If Archer is to find the killer, she must first battle her way through religious fanatics, London gangsters - and her own demons.

Opinion

See No Evil is another interesting crime mystery with some gruesome crimes.

PLOT: Mutilated bodies are discovered in Battersea Park, while investigation these murders they are pulled into the world of a cult. At the same time Archer past continue to haunt her. 

CHARACTERS: I like DI Grace Archer, I like the fact we see her struggles. That she isn’t perfect but she is doing the best she can. I enjoy the work dynamo between DI Archer and DS Harry Quinn it seems very realistic. They are loyal to each other without having that romantic undertone. 

WRITING STYLE: I enjoy reading crime books when they have a darker in tone and crime. This is where Fennell shines, he is very good at giving a gruesome crime without going into the horror. 

THEME: Crime, Mystery, thriller, Trauma 

Overall a enjoyable British Crime Mystery.

My Rating for See No Evil is 4.3 out of 5.
