Dead To Me By Pamela Murray

‘Dead To Me’ is the first book in a new series by Pamela Murray called ‘Burton and Fielding’

When other people close to the astrologer they visited that night are murdered, detectives Burton and Fielding begin to suspect her. But is it misdirection on the part of the killer and, if so, why is she being implicated?

If you’re a fan of police duo crime series book then I wholeheartedly recommend you check out ‘Dead To Me’.

I was delighted with this book, I thought it was a one murder case but it was all about a serial killer killing people using extracts from Foxgloves and detectives Fielding and Burton are trying to piece what little clues they have together to prevent more from happening.

The story is primarily seen through Fieldings narrative as she leads on her first case with Burton as her support. They are both in line for promotions and want to catch the killer. They work together as team both in professional and intimidate sense, as they throw ideas back and forth as well as plan for their future together. I loved the interactions together as well as with the team as they all worked together in a race to prevent more deaths.

Throughout the story, there are many suspicious and unlikeable characters that are all suspected killers with motives and I felt the author really kept the reader on their toes second guessing throughout. There’s also a clever addition of some dialogue between the killers and I found myself eagerly reading those parts and looking for clues.

Perfect for fans of police procedural books and crime dramas, ‘Dead To Me’ is a great introduction to the duo and really sets the bar for a great new series.

You can buy ‘Dead To Me’ from Amazon.
