When the body of a young woman is found with her hands and teeth missing, Detective Inspector Phil Morris struggles to identify her. The evidence initially suggests she is local missing girl, Alex Waters, whose mother, Tricia, comes armed with a psychic gift she would rather not possess. As Phil and his partner, Detective Donna Barclay, try to untangle the web of mystery surrounding the body, it appears that Alex had more secrets than even her psychic mother knew. As the hour glass empties, Phil and Donna are pushed to their limits trying to unravel the disturbed mind behind the sick game playing out around them. MY REVIEW THE DAUGHTER by Billy McLaughlin is a gripping and dark story filled with haunting twists and unexpected turns. The third book in the DI Morris series, I imagined that reading the previous books would be necessary but I was wrong, and this book can easily be read as a standalone. When a young woman's body is discovered in a shed with her teeth missing, and parts of her body hacked off, Detectives Phil and Donna are put onto the case to discover who the victim is and find the perpetrator. But this case may be a little too close to home when everything seems to point to the fact that the victim is the missing local girl, Alex Waters. As secrets float to the surface, and families are torn apart by deceit, it appears that this murder may be just the beginning, will they be able to stop the killer before they strike again? THE DAUGHTER by Billy McLaughlin is not a fast-paced, energetic crime thriller, but rather a composed crime novel as the clues and characters slowly slot into place as the narrative continues. Phil and Donna are great characters and there is a real air of authenticity when you read about all aspects of their job, which can often be dull and boring. THE DAUGHTER by Billy McLaughlin is a great read and I recommend it to all readers who enjoy an evenly paced crime thriller. Author Bio: Billy McLaughlin is a 38 year old writer from Glasgow who has published four novels in the crime genre. The first is Invisible, a novelette about a woman who hides the true nature of her private life from a colleague that she's befriended. However, he delves in further under the belief that he can help her with horrible consequences. The second of his books, and the first in the DI Morris series, tells the story of a young woman who has lost her way and ends up on the streets. As her life continues to break under the rubble, she finds herself at the heart of a murder where she's the obvious suspect. In the Wake of Death picks up six months after the events of Lost Girl where DI Morris is caught up in a mystery of a more personal nature. When Marc Adams, the brother of an old flame, is left for dead it is up to Morris to get to the bottom of the crime. However, something darker lies beneath the surface. In March 2017 McLaughlin released The Dead of Winter, a 40k crime novella that tells the story of two missing children, one a baby and one the teenager next door. The ugly truth of a middle class community on the edge of Glasgow reveals how these people react to the crime and how they'll protect their own at any cost.
