Blanket of Blood

by

Eileen Wharton

About the book:-

The body of a baby is found in the woods but all is not as it seems.

A twisted serial killer is targeting pregnant teenage girls.

DI Blood races against the clock to stop the most chilling murderer he’s ever hunted. His private life meanwhile threatens to distract him and derail his investigation.

Any mistakes, any hesitation on his side, could cost another innocent life …

My Review:-

This is certainly not a book for the squeamish or faint hearted but I loved it.  It is full of the most amazing characters and reading about Blood and his team acts as the perfect foil for the beyond gruesome crimes they are investigating.  The interaction between them is laugh out loud and as for the nearly romance between Blood and Sue.  Well I can’t wait to read the sequel and find out if they eventually realise they are made for each other.

There is a lot happening in this book.  We have a psychopathic serial killer who murders pregnant girls and babies in the most horrific way.  As mentioned, not for the faint hearted.  We have stories of child abuse on a level few of us can imagine. We have a race against time to find a missing child.  We have Sue’s search for her long lost brother and we have some horrific characters but against all this are Blood’s wonderful team.  The vampish, terrifying Tree, Mulholland of the veggie farts to name just two.  The story is fast paced from the first page to the last and when the killer is actually revealed.  Well I was shocked.  Not the ending I expected.  Eileen has certainly set the bar high in the first of at least two books about DI Blood and I’ll be disappointed if there are not more.

My name is Charlie B and I have lived in the South of France for over 30 years with my husband Phil. At present we share our house with 6 cats (all rescue), our parrot Arthur (she's a girl) and our tank of tropical fish. I have always loved reading and belong to a writing group and a book club. So that I wouldn't feel so guilty sitting around and reading all day I decided to set up a book blog.
