Changes

I don't read much crime but I can't get enough of it on TV and perhaps this is why I thoroughly enjoyed this very visual book. In addition to having been a policeman himself, McCrery has some very successful credits in TV crime to his name, including Silent Witness and New Tricks. ''Core of Evil'' is absorbing and pacy, with an interesting policeman and a horribly gruesome murderess. What more could you want?

Readers interested in the detecting will enjoy [[Singing to the Dead by Caro Ramsay]] or [[Dark Angels by Grace Monroe]]. A gruesome serial killer also pops up in [[Sleepyhead by Mark Billingham]].
