When Nigel Baxter, a middle-aged married banker with an unremarkable past, is found dead in the bath of a plush hotel suite, his wrists slit, it looks as if he's taken his own life. At first. But when Detective Inspector Daniel Riley is assigned to the case, he soon realises all isn't as it first appears to be. When a postmortem shows Baxter was poisoned, Riley suspects foul play. And then there's the odd addition of a teddy bear left at the crime scene....

Struggling to come to terms with the loss of his fiancée, Rachel, in a freak motorcycle accident and the baby she was carrying inside her, Riley throws himself into the case in a bid to distract himself from his grief. And his infamous intuition is telling him something is off, really off on this one. With the help of his dedicated team, Riley begins to delve into Baxter's life and soon realises that the amenable family man has been indulging in the 'services' of some dubious websites, ones where young women hook up with older men in return for 'favours', and there's one woman in particular he'd like to speak to. A woman calling herself Goldilocks....

I’ve listened to these books somewhat out of order but I’m happy that the female lead is strong (crazy, but not whiny).

My only complaint is i don’t feel it’s appropriate to describe child sexual abuse in detail. It’s very distasteful & could be traumatic for someone who has experienced it.

I like Dan

I actually have already read books 2 & 3 before coming back to this one in the series. I love them as stand alone books, but I’m so glad I went back to the beginning! I’m looking forward to continuing the series.

Love it!

One would think that an author would at least take the time to research his work. Cyanide smells like almonds. Arsenic is odorless, unless it comes in contact with an acid, and then it smell like garlic. I was disappointed, because up to that point I was enjoying the book.

good story, but a little research goes a long way
