Review: Dark Houses

Dark Houses Dark Houses by Helen H. Durrant
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Book 2 in the DI Greco series (but can be read as a stand alone without problem)

We meet Stephen Greco again, slightly compulsive, OCD and not very likable. His marriage is in trouble and he is still trying to have a good working relationship with his team. He's not a very empathic character, but we get to know and understand him better.

When 2 women are found dead in empty houses, victims of rape and torture, the team must rise to the challenge, and find the killer before he strikes again. There are no clues, but soon we find out that a young man, who suffers from schizophrenia, is one of the killers. But he couldn't have done it alone. So who is the other killer?
Things get even more hectic when DI Greco's wife goes missing.

As much as I liked the plot and how it develops, I felt the dialogues a bit stilted. That's the reason for only 3 stars.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
