Tiger Blood (DS Webber Mystery (Annie Raymond Mysteries Book 5) 3) Kindle Edition

by Penny Grubb (Author), Heather Murphy (Illustrator) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 9 ratings
The 30-year old rusting hulk of a get-away car.
A middle-aged woman’s suicide 15 years ago.
A hacking of the city’s traffic systems.

Detective Superintendent Martyn Webber knows where to focus his resources - on the present. Yet when past sins return to haunt him, and a manipulative teenager fools his team, has he overlooked a link that places more than his reputation on the line?

And who in the force’s hierarchy is trying to pull his strings?

Someone with a very long memory, and an even longer reach.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Study in Crime from this Author
    Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2016
    We were introduced to D.S. Martyn Webber in Buried Deep (an excellent read) but in Tiger Blood he takes centre stage. His home life is complicated by an event he’d rather not remember, but the woman involved won’t let him off that easily. The results of his indiscretion haunt him throughout this superb crime novel.
    Regular readers of my reviews know I don’t do synopses. Those are easily found in the blurb on the various websites and the backs of books. It seems pointless to simply echo them. My focus is on the quality of the writing, the story and the characters.
    Here, Penny Grubb delivers a cast of characters who people her book with reality. There is a gritty actuality to the people we meet here: the reader feels these are folk involved in real life. The central protagonist is a flawed working police detective. Webber has issues, but he’s a dedicated seeker of truth unwilling and unable to allow expedience, difficulty or complexity to defeat his purpose in catching the guilty party in the crime he’s investigating. The people surrounding him, whether professional, personal or criminally suspect, are all very real too. The mix of characters makes it easy for the reader to empathise on many levels.
    As for the story; with typical Grubb deviousness, it takes the reader on a journey both complex and dangerous. There are red herrings caught up in the net of intrigue. Suspects increase along with the body count. And danger is never far from those Webber most wants to protect.
    The denouement starts relatively early and slowly builds at first, until the tension becomes palpable and the reader is urged deeper into the world of the police detective and the victims of crime.
    The settings are often real places, but Penny Grubb imbues them with atmosphere so that the reader can envisage the places and visit them mentally as the story unfolds. There is a darkness to the crime scenes that is counterbalanced by the everyday glimpses of cafes, streets and homes.
    This is a great story with brilliantly drawn characters. Pace varies with the action, taking the reader on a memorable ride through emotional and mental twists and turns until the eventual and inevitable conclusion brings the story to a satisfying close. A thoroughly absorbing read that leaves the reader looking forward to the next book from this talented storyteller.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Complex. Intriguing. Riveting.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 4, 2016

    This is the second in the DS Webber crime novels set in and around York and gains a well-deserved 5 stars for a complex, intriguing and riveting read.

    Hell hath no fury like a woman who finds her Det Superintendent husband has not only been playing away but has been manipulated into fathering a child for a lesbian couple. And they are all in the job. To get back at him Melinda Webber, currently on maternity leave after the birth of their own child, starts to take a perverse interest in a cold case her errant husband has been handed – a woman’s suicide after the death of her husband mauled by tigers in a botched Animal Rights stunt. Under duress, he obliges. What harm can passing a bit of information do, especially when it helps keep the peace at home?

    What it does is opens a can of worms than spreads to include a group of school-friend high-fliers now in their middle-age, CCTV and traffic-light manipulation, organised crime in Scandinavia, and a growing number of bodies which start to emerge when a car used in a Post Office robbery thirty years ago is hauled out of a water-filled gravel pit.

    As with the author’s previous PI Raymond books, and now this DS Webber series, the lead characters are at the nub of a well-researched and authentic world of tight budgets, fierce hierarchy, and trying to keep the lid on multiple cases, peopled by characters balancing the demands of long hours in the job with the needs of family. Good to see put-upon DC Ayaan Ahmed making another appearance. I can see him eventually having a spin-off series of his own. The ending is a cracker.

    This novel is a must-read for those who enjoy complex plotting which mirrors real-life police work.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping read.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 4, 2016

    I’ve read all Penny Grubb’s books and every one of them has gripped me from the first page to the last. Grubb's books are brilliantly written and the characters, whether they play leading roles like my personal favourites, Private Investigator Anne Raymond (The Annie Raymond Mysteries), the flawed Detective Superintendent Martyn Webber, the lovely young Detective Constable Ayaan Ahmed, or the hard faced Sergeant, Suzie Harmer (introduced in Buried Deep) they are all very real, and in no time you feel as if you know them. The plots are cleverly constructed. There are three serious crimes in Tiger Blood (and a variety of interesting villains) which kept me engrossed until the very last crime was solved. Can't wait for Penny Grubb's next book.
