Although she tells him to leave, by the time she returns from a trip to Myanmar, he is still living in her flat. Her relationship with her boyfriend, Ian is awful, he’s just sponging off her and treating her like a doormat. The main focus is on Callie and the mess she gets herself into. It reads OK as a standalone, although it probably would have helped to have known more about Tom Douglas, but the police investigation isn’t the main focus of the book. I have mixed thoughts about this book – I didn’t ‘like’ it (although I gave it 3 stars on Goodreads), but it held my interest and I read to the end. Who is controlling them, and how can they be stopped? Who is she? Where did she come from? How did she get there? How many more must die? When DCI Tom Douglas is called to the cold, lonely scene of a suspicious death, he is baffled. Soon they won’t be strangers, they’ll be family… They each made one bad choice – and now they have no choices left. These strangers have one thing in common. But she will have to return, sooner or later. They don’t speak, because there is nothing left to be said.Īnother woman boards a plane to escape the man who is trying to steal her life.

There are bits in each story about his life, but nothing that would require you to have read previous books. So please feel free to read them in any order you like. This is the seventh in the DCI Tom Douglas series, but I was encouraged by Rachel Abbott’s reassurance ( on Goodreads author questions) that ‘ each story is entirely standalone, but the character of Tom Douglas does run through the whole series. I had high hopes for this book as I’ve seen Rachel Abbott’s books praised on other book blogs and highly rated on Amazon and Goodreads, but I’d never read any of them. Once again I’ve fallen behind with writing reviews! This is the first post in a series of short reviews of the books that I’ve read this year and not reviewed.Ĭome a Little Closer by Rachel Abbott.
