The Box

Thoroughly Great ReadDan Wheatcroft has added another great story to the series, his characters draw you into the world of police work and the plot twists and turns. I really enjoyed this book and read it in two days, cannot wait for the next in the series, I couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend not only this book but the full series.

5* Skilfully written with an intriguing plot.The Box gives an insight into police work the public rarely see, and is certainly never shown in films or popular TV series. After loudly disputing the latest petty regulations from the newly appointed Chief Constable, Detective Chief Inspector Thurstan Baddeley is banished from the Major Incident Team with orders to work his way through boxes of cold cases in a dilapidated police station on an old industrial estate. A murder committed over 100 years

Thurston Baddely feels like an old friend. I look forward to his exploits when a new book comes out. We are told on the cover ‘no flashes, or bangs,no explosions or car chases’…. but the book did not disappoint. Twists and turns, friendly banter, sarcasm, great characters and frustrating senior managers…it’s all there in bucket loads. An enjoyable read.
