About this ebook

 Simon Farraday was a respectable business man; successful, wealthy and with a loving wife and family. He was also heavily into sadomasochistic sex with virtual strangers, judging by the manner of his brutal, squalid murder. 

Detective Sergeant Kate Redman could do without the complexities of this case, coping as she is with trying to maintain her long-distance relationship with her boyfriend Tin, deal with her recurrent attraction to her boss DCI Anderton and support her friend DI Mark Olbeck in his efforts to adopt a child. But investigating a case with such dark undercurrents of desire and jealousy means that the solution to the mystery may hit just a little too close to home… 

Siren is the ninth book in the bestselling series The Kate Redman Mysteries, from crime writer Celina Grace.

Ratings and reviews

Siren is the fifth novel I've read by Celina Grace, the others being Requiem, Snarl, Hushabye and Sanctuary, and I've enjoyed them all. They lie towards the "cozy mystery" end of the murder mystery continuum, with a minimal amount of excess violence and just the right amount of occasional hot passion. The characters are well drawn and the writing is clear. A good read all round.

I enjoy the mystery and like the characters. And unlike the magnum opuses that are so common these days, these books are almost bite-sized, something I can breeze through in a few evenings.

I wanted to like this book but I could not connect to the characters plot was interesting at times but It was a bland read overall

About the author
