A murdered woman, a haunted detective, and a killer with an axe to grind.

A woman is slaughtered in vicious attack, and left in an abandoned building, handcuffed to a chair.

Invited by a former colleague to join a new team in the South of England, DCI Jon Pilgrim takes on the case of the murdered young woman. Partnered with the captivating DS Kate O’Connell, they hunt for the killer.

The victims links to the local gangs seems to lead to an open and shut case, but Jon isn’t convinced. The killer seems to be sending a message. But what is it?

Just as things seem to be making sense, another body is found in a similar state.

This victim seems unrelated to the first, but it’s clearly the same killer.

Jon must deal with gang bosses, jealous partners, and come to terms with his own tragic past to find the killer before the death toll rises.
But as things escalate, Jon fears the past is about to repeat itself, and tear him apart.

Axe to Grind is a pulse-pounding new thriller from author A L Fraine. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JD Kirk, JM Dalgliesh, and Ian Rankin.

If you are looking for a simple, relaxing easy read, then this is right for you. It was too trite and juvenile for my taste. It wraps up neatly in a bow at the end. Nothing to chew on when you finish with the book.

Not A Deep Read

Sets the scene of relationships past/present and world building. Personalities of the main characters are interesting enough to want to continue the series to find out more about their lives.

Good first book to a series
