Twisted, unpredictable, and darkly witty…
Darke’s clever mystery explores the dark undercurrents of justice, obsession, and madness. Daryl Smith is no stranger to trouble, but a dead doctor with a missing eye is a new low—even for Yeovilton County. Once a respected detective, now a disgraced investigator, he refuses to let the case slide, even as the authorities look the other way. With sidelined profiler Yvonne Sparks at his side, he begins to look into the case. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: this killer isn’t just unhinged. He is meticulous, merciless, and dangerously obsessed with cats. Beneath the biting humor and absurdity is a sharp critique of justice, incompetence, and obsession. The missing eyeball isn’t just gruesome; it’s a symbol of willful blindness, while the ever-present cats add an eerie, almost supernatural touch. Taut and entertaining, this whodunit never lets up, balancing shock and satire in equal measure.
Not to be missed.
