Buried Deep (DS Webber Mystery (Annie Raymond Mysteries Book 5)) Kindle Edition

by Penny Grubb (Author), Heather Murphy (Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 5 ratings
Surrey-based Damien Marks has no idea that his wife has employed a private investigator to check up on him. And she has no idea that a police team in York sees his inexplicable behaviour in a far more sinister light. He is the prime suspect in a murder enquiry.

Detective Superintendent Martyn Webber is appalled to find private investigator Annie Raymond slap bang in the middle of his case. Not that he takes her seriously, but he has his own secrets that he can’t afford for her to find. Then the death of a peripheral witness turns the investigation on its head.

Meanwhile, oblivious to the entanglements of the adult world around her, schoolgirl Olivia Lamb hugs to herself the secret of the ghost hands she saw in the surging waters of a York flash flood.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Crime with a Bite and Personality.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2015
    The wonderfully idiosyncratic heroine, Annie Raymond, appears first in Penny Grubb’s detective novel, Like False Money. Buried Deep is the fifth book in the series, and this well-imagined detective has significantly developed along the way.

    This story holds the reader’s interest from the beginning and never lets go. The reader easily understands Annie; her faults making her a believable creation and endearing her to us as she struggles with the difficulties sent her way. In this book, she has to work with the flawed police detective, Webber. He brings his own problems, prejudices, insights and skills to the tale, building the book into something bigger than a simple crime novel.

    Penny has a way of wearing the skin of her characters, even the villains, so that the reader cares what happens. But Annie and Webber are the ones we really empathise with, in spite of their faults, or maybe because of them.

    The nature of the crimes in this story will disturb some readers, but crime fiction is designed to make people think, to bring the real world into the safe environment of our homes where we can experience it without personal danger.

    As always, with this author’s work, there are shocks, moments of unexpected illumination, many twists and turns, and a complex puzzle to solve. And the developing pace of the story engages the reader as both Annie and Webber are led into great danger. The denouement builds slowly at first, then the pace increases with the tension until it becomes impossible to book the book down until it’s finished. And a satisfying finish it is.

    Buried Deep is more than just a crime novel. It is a well-written, engaging, absorbing and truly attention-demanding piece of fiction. If you like your crime enlivened with humour, human failings, realism, and intelligence, this book is for you. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and heartily recommend it.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 13, 2015

    This is the first novel for years where I’ve needed to exchange sleep for a denouement. The book starts off mundanely enough. PI Annie Raymond, now part of a big operation in London, is embroiled in a long-term on-off surveillance of a man whose wife believes he’s playing away. Annie thinks the woman is paranoid, until in York her surveillance intersects that of a police team’s.

    DS Webber is leading an enquiry into a child’s murder which might have connections to an investigation in Switzerland, and when the PI’s interest comes to light he fears for the integrity of his operation.

    These two are no cinematic lone-wolves where the world stops for a single investigation. The author’s understanding of the minutiae of both police work and private investigation – and the strict legal boundaries both work within – is credibly conveyed on the page. Webber, a married man with a roving eye, is juggling budget cuts and manpower problems, working across force areas and liaising both up the command structure and internationally. Could the killing – or is it killings? – be linked to an old case that left his former boss in mental tatters? Annie Raymond is more than happy to back out of Webber's arena, but while finalising her paperwork she realises a single piece of information is incorrect, and Webber needs to be made aware. In doing so she precipitates the infiltrating of her firm’s digital records. It seems her mark isn’t the only one under surveillance.

    If you enjoy the complexities of Scandinavian Noir, you’ll enjoy getting your teeth into this. Just ensure you have time available, because once the myriad shards start to fall into place...
