My Review
This was my first outing with the Serial Murder Squad Series and I thoroughly enjoyed these two cases.
Even though I have not read any of the other books in the series it did not detract from my understanding and enjoyment. I found the characters and the stories so real it was like reading a true life case!
I am pleased to say I will be seeking out the other cases and adding them to my TBR!
Fantastically written, with not only tense and thrilling tales but with some brilliant humour, I was hooked by the writing style with lots of twists and turns all of this made these both these case's such enjoyable reads.

Author Bio
Barry Faulkner was born into a family of South London petty criminals who ran with the Richardson's Crime Gang in the 60's-90's.
Being the youngest his mother, a top fashion model, was determined he would not follow in the criminal footsteps of the rest of the family and enrolled him into the Morely Academy of Dramatic Art to pursue a career in acting.
Sadly young Faulkner was asked to leave after three months when no acting ability had surfaced.
He went onto become an advertising copywriter with the English branch of the US Agency Erwin Wasey Ruffraf and Ryan where he got lucky with some scripts he sent to the BBC TV and became a scriptwriter and editor for them and several ITV companies. During this time the DCS Palmer plots were amassed in various notebooks and three years ago Faulkner finally found time to write and publish them.
His early insight into the criminal world of his family has added authenticity to the characters and plots that makes them credible and the pace keeps the reader glued to the end. His signature end twist will always surprise you.
