DEADLY SHADOWS ( Dylan Scott #6)
Shirley Wells
Carina Press Kindle Edition
October 7, 2013
In this sixth outing of the Dylan Scott Mysteries from Shirley Wells, Dylan is back in Dawson's Clough, going undercover in an operation with the local police. Dylan had participated in another operation when he was still with the London force. The target then and now is Joe Child, sleazy and violent drug dealer. Joe supposedly has gotten religion and now runs a commune that reaches out to the homeless and discontented in the area. Dylan knows from past experience of Joe that he has not reformed and is up to no good. The fact that two young women have disappeared from the commune has prompted the investigation and as always, Dylan won't stop until he gets answers despite serious problems at home.
Dylan is a very flawed, yet likable and believable character. When he gets his teeth into an investigation, everything else gets put aside. Deadly Shadows is a much darker story than some of the earlier books- sometimes it is difficult reading. But overall I like the way the series is going and look forward to the next in the series. I recommend Deadly Shadows to any fan of British mysteries.
