Elf hats, Christmas parties, and murders!

The Marlow Murders (Detective Rob Miller Series #7) by Biba Pearce       

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Well this was intriguing! A missing woman with nothing to go on but a Christmas elf hat and a mobile phone discarded near a bench down by the river towpath at Marlow in the Thames Valley.

What looks like a missing person turns into a more complex murder, which is just the beginning. There’s a host of moving parts and people who just might have a reason for harming the missing woman. How to uncover the truth is the challenge.

DCI Rob Miller and his disbanded crew from the Major Investigation Team of the Met. Police Headquarters are called back together to solve the case—quickly! (That’s another story, that includes Rob’s partner Jo)

I found this tale intriguing, and full of deft twists. So much so that I feel the need to explore the rest of the series.

Well paced, tense and surprising!
