Beneath the Surface by Jo Spain
3.0
this was my second book I read in the Inspector Tom Reynolds series by Jo Spain. This one was, however, disappointing. It involves the murder of the PA of a top and ambitious Irish politician. The murder occurs in a secure government building which lends to the intrigue. There are possible deals brewing with a large multinational dealing with offshore natural resources.
Political intrigue and murder can be a great combination. However in this novel, the plot development dragged. There were sub-plots that could have added depth, but they were not sufficiently developed. The first in the series I read was # 4, which I liked much more than this one. I will read #1 and #3 as I believe that Jo Spain deserves her popularity.
