Quintin Jardine's latest gritty mystery, "The Darkest Deeds Are Hidden From Sight," is a must-read for fans of Ian Rankin and Peter May. Set on New Year's Day in Edinburgh, the novel follows the investigation of a murder that takes place on Hogmanay night. Struggling ex-cop Terry Coats, who was found dead in bed with an air hostess, claimed to be going undercover, but his excuse didn't convince the force or his wife. However, when his body is discovered alongside that of Griff Montell, his former protégé and former lover of Skinner's daughter, Alex, questions arise about the truth behind Coats' story.
Special Constable Sir Bob Skinner is shocked to find Coats' body, and as the secrets start unraveling, he realizes he has gravely underestimated someone close to him. The consequences of this underestimation will have far-reaching effects, not only on Skinner but also on those he loves.
Jardine's gripping mysteries have received widespread praise, with critics describing his writing as "fine," "Scottish crime-writing at its finest," and "incredibly difficult to put the book down." The novel is a guide through a world of tangled family politics, hostile takeovers, government-sanctioned killing, extortion, and the seedier side of publishing. Quintin Jardine is known for his well-constructed narratives, fast-paced plots, and ingenious twists and turns, making him a first choice for readers of crime fiction.
In conclusion, "The Darkest Deeds Are Hidden From Sight" is a thrilling and suspenseful crime novel that will keep readers engaged until the very end. Quintin Jardine's masterful storytelling and intricate plot twists make this a must-read for fans of the genre.
