Shame the Devil

When a young father is stabbed to death on the doorstep of his home, DI Matthew Denning and DS Molly Fisher are puzzled. The man seemed to have no enemies and Matthew believes the murder was a case of mistaken identity, that the killer meant to dispatch a nasty neighbor instead. Molly isn’t so sure, and her suspicions are proved correct when a young woman is killed in nearly identical circumstances. This is the 5th book featuring Denning and Fisher, but readers won’t have to have read the previous four to understand and enjoy this excellent British police procedural

I received an audiobook copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

I’ve never read a book by Graeme Hampton, but I’ll definitely be searching out others after reading Shame the Devil.

Several seemingly random murders puzzle DI Matthew Denning and DS Molly Fisher, and trying to connect them take up a good portion of the first third of the book. Well plotted and interesting all the way through, I was definitely hooked and wanted to find out the conclusion. Absolutely recommend this cool series!

I very much enjoyed this police procedure crime tale. The characters were very believable and although I guessed the culprit a while before the end it still held my interest.
Never realised it was one in a series so obviously it really didn’t matter. I would certainly read/ listen to this author again.
The narrator had a great vocal range so very easy to work out who was ‘ speaking’.
