Pop Goes The Weasel

Pop Goes The Weasel by M. J. Arlidge Summary: A man’s body is found in an empty house. A gruesome memento of his murder is sent to his wife and children. He is the first victim, and Detective Helen Grace knows he will not be the last. But why would a happily married man be this far from home in the dead of night? The media call it Jack the Ripper in reverse: a serial killer preying on family men who lead hidden double lives. Helen can sense the fury behind the murders. But what she cannot possibly predict is how volatile this killer is—or what is waiting for her at the end of the chase.... Angie's Comments: Arlidge’s books don’t spare the reader from what the detectives see. Pop Goes The Weasel, the second in the Helen Grace series, certainly doesn’t shy away from the gruesomeness of the murders. The plot is interesting, and the characters have their share of issues. I highly recommend reading Eeny Meeny, the first book in the series, before reading this one. Recommended for readers who like dark mysteries, with a ray of hope at the end.  Request this item
