Somebody's Daughter by Carol Wyer
5.0
I am a massive fan of the Natalie Ward series and Somebody's Daughter could well be the best book yet! Following on from the events of The Secret Admirer, we see that the team has undergone a slight reshuffle. I enjoyed seeing how Natalie, Lucy and Murray reacted to the new team dynamic and how they got along with the newer members of the team. There is a lot of potential in this team and I look forward to finding out more about them.
Somebody's Daughter is darker than its predecessors and. Wyer has tackled some interesting subjects such as prostitution L, rape and drug use. It made uncomfortable reading at times but the topics are handled with sensitivity as Wyer reminds us, as the title suggests, that the victims are always somebody's daughter, no matter what they have done or what their circumstances may be.
The investigation takes some time to get off the ground, but this gives Wyer the time to let the reader know a little more about the people involved. I appreciate this approach as it helps me to think about what may have motivated the killer and who the killer may be. The slow burning plot doesn't last forever though, as towards the end of the novel, there is a definite sense of tension and danger and I was on the edge of my seat!
In Somebody's Daughter, Wyer begins to answer some of the long held questions of this series and there is definitely more to come out of these revelations. I look forward to seeing what happens next!
