Murder in Darnley Glen: an absolutely gripping Scottish crime mystery with a massive twist(6 Detective Lola Harris)

A dead woman. A missing baby. A desperate race against time. It's a cold October dawn when Detective Lola gets the call. The body of a young woman has been found in the reeds at Darnley Glen park on the outskirts of Glasgow. There's a vicious wound to her head. She's not been dead long. A shaken taxi driver insists he saw the victim just hours earlier, running through the darkness, clutching a newborn. But there's no sign of a baby. Then, a 999 call. A local businessman reports his ten-week-old son was kidnapped at gunpoint by a woman matching the victim's description. But why did he wait so long to call the police? Lola's instincts tell her he's hiding something behind the walls of his plush suburban home. Time is running out to find the missing child - but the truth is darker, and more twisted, than Lola ever imagined. Dark, unsettling, and steeped in the shadows of the Scottish landscape, this gripping detective mystery is perfect for fans of J.D. Kirk, Ian Rankin, Caro Ramsay, Marion Todd and Val McDermid.

This book had a bit of everything . . . kept me glued to my kindle!' Debbie B. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Loved this.' Susan M. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'If you need someone fearless, and tenacious she's the detective for you.' Christina M. MEET THE DETECTIVE Lola Harris, a former hairdresser, is able to get people to trust her at their most vulnerable. She can pierce the toughest facade, asking questions that get to the heart of the matter. But she knows she can play it "mumsy" when she needs to. She drinks too much coffee, and likes a Bacardi and Coke, though she tries not to drink because it makes her maudlin about her useless ex, Joe. THE SETTING Glasgow is a city of many different faces, from gritty and unsettling, to modern and slick. It rains a lot: clouds make a lid over the city, and citizens hunch as they hurry about their business. Still, people are very friendly and like a good time.
