Married Lies - Chris Collett Crime

DI Mariner Series Number 5

Lucy Jarrett is terrified. Someone is watching her every move, following her home from work and making threatening phone calls. But her husband doesn’t believe her and no one else is listening.

Lucy’s married life is proving anything but blissful. Her musician husband is perpetually away on tour and doesn’t want to start a family. Lucy finally calls on Detective Tom Mariner for help, and he takes her fears seriously because of the recent murder of another young woman by her ex-partner. DI Mariner himself is already on the hunt for a sadistic killer. Nina Silvero, wife of an ex-police officer, was duped into sipping sulphuric acid disguised as celebratory wine. Grappling with Nina’s apparently motiveless killing, Mariner delegates Lucy’s case to Millie Khatoon. Is someone out for revenge against the police? Mariner must track down the stalker and catch the killer before anyone else dies.

"A fantastic read full of ups and downs, Tom Mariner's emotions bleed through the page in a way that is impossible to ignore. A better author of this genre you would be hard-pressed to find. I will be actively seeking out more of Chris Collett's books."
