Brilliant
Well that was good - brilliant, believable storyline - strong characters, tension and humour. This book has it all from start to finish. Going to check Amazon out for the next in the series!

Miller at his best so far
Good read strong story line. Our familiarity with his crew has been padded out and l think Saunders and Grant will be interesting to follow in the next story

Steven Suttie is the best author I have read
This the fourth book I have read written by Steven Suttie. I love his books can't put them down. I plan to read all his books. Very entertaining.

The story is a good one though and there is some interesting dialogue
I read other reviews that stated the book started out very s-l-o-w. And, it did. However, it wasn't very much about DCI Miller - more about the DI who seems besotted with a new team member. Also, the author seems infatuated with body functions and smells. I felt, at times, as if I was reading something written by a college age boy. The story is a good one though and there is some interesting dialogue. Not sure if I will continue with the series if future books are like this one.

Great book
Too much government detail

Good read
A bit slow and tedious to start with but don't quit as it becomes an enthralling read. Stick with it

So close to reality!
Another riveting plot featuring such realistic situations that you could almost put real faces in place of the characters in the book!

Best of his first four books
I have read all four books in this series and I liked this one the most. His writing in the book is less,dark and more like a police procedural. Great characters and logical development of the story.

Excellent read
Well paced and credible. Nice character development too. Really easy to take to DCI Miller and his team. Would like a link to book two character s who are presently serving time as there is still a story there. Maybe in the next book

Außergewöhnlich gute Reihe
Ich schreibe hier das Selbe wie bei allen anderen Suttie-Büchern, weil es einfach auf jedes Buch zutrifft!Es ist wirklich ein außergewöhnlich gute Reihe.Und dabei ist DCI Miller nicht außergewöhnlich begabt, hat keine schwere Kindheit gehabt, keine schwerwiegenden privaten Probleme und er jagt auch keine Superhirne oder absurd perverse Psychopathen. Er ist zur Abwechslung einfach nur ein guter, erfahrener Polizeibeamter mit gutem Instinkt und ein noch besserer Team-Leader. Alle Fälle sind vermutlich so schon mal passiert oder könnten ohne Probleme Realität sein. Und manchmal ist es sogar gar kein echtes verbrechen, sondern nur eine unglückliche Verkettung von Umständen, die zu einer Straftat führen. In allen Büchern spielen nicht nur DCI Miller, sein Team und die Vorkommnisse die Hauptrolle und werden - wie sonst so oft - isoliert dargestellt. Eine große Rolle spielt hier nämlich auch die Reaktion bzw. Haltung der Gesellschaft - gebildet durch die sozialen Medien (Twitter, facebook etc.) und die Presse. Und tatsächlich gelingt es dem Autor den Leser so mit in das Geschehen zu ziehen, dass man sich als Teil dieser Gesellschaft fühlt. Und natürlich bildet man sich ebenfalls eine Meinung - und muss diese im Laufe des Buches hinterfragen. Oder sich an die eigene Nase packen, wie man sich doch so hat beeinflussen lassen können, ohne zu fragen, ob es nicht noch eine andere Sichtweise gibt. Und in jedem der Bücher gibt es diese andere Seite - und sie lässt das ganze Geschehen dann in einem anderen Licht erscheinen. Extrem gut, realistisch, absolut empfehlenswert!

Imagine Robbie Williams standing quietly in a queue.
This is the forth story in the DCI Miller series of books and it doesn't disappoint. I adore this series of books. In a bloated genre where everyone seems to be a thriller writer Steven Sutties books stand out from the crowd with great story lines that hold on to you and keep you interested throughout the whole of the book, regardless of whether you think you know where the story is going or not and if you do think you know whats happening I can almost guarantee you will be wrong. Its also a refreshing change to read dialogue that feels real, written the way people actually speak to each other, rather than some clunky middle classed nonsense.The story revolves around the search for Kathy Hopkirk the nations most detested celebrity when she goes missing after leaving the Midland Hotel in Manchester. As always its written with a great dollop of black humour that will have you chuckling away one minute and WTF the next.This series of books are must reads for me. Highly recommended.
