This is the second of the novels featuring DI Lorne
Simpkins. Cruel Justice was the excellent start of the series and Impeding
Justice is even more thrilling and gripping.
I absolutely loved it.
Lorne is still the feisty, stubborn, no-nonsense detective
hunting down sadistic killers, still with a rocky marriage (being married to
her husband and her job just isn’t easy) and still with a teenager who is
being, well, a teenager. To make matters
worse, a tragedy hits her close-knit work team and her eight-year-long chase of
her nemesis, The Unicorn, steps up a pace.
He has started to make it personal—very, very personal.
Mel is an excellent thriller writer. She packs action and tension into a package
with strong characters along with heinous villains. Lorne’s domestic life and problems therein
remind us that she isn’t superwoman, but a keen and brave working wife and
mother, with the police force in her blood, doing her best to make the streets
a safer place.
This isn’t a book you can put down easily and Mel manages to
leave you emotionally exhausted: appalled by man’s ability to be utterly depraved
and violent, touched by the resistance and strength of innocent youth, totally
wrung-out by the pain a mother feels for the suffering of her child. Not only that, Mel deftly leaves you
hungering for more with an almighty cliffhanger.
On to the next (Final Justice), Cathy, quick as you can…
