The Secrets they Hide (A Commissario Scala Mystery in Rome) by P.J. Mann – Review by Kerry Carr

The Secrets they Hide by P.J. Mann
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Commissario Scala Mystery series. Even though it is part of a series they can be read as a standalone read however I think it helps you understand the characters better if you read them from the beginning. However if you don’t it won’t take anything away from this story which is a great murder mystery. This book had me gripped from the beginning and didn’t let go until the end. This is a crime story set in Rome which was different. When Inspector Scala finds a note in his car he knows something is going on and when 2 weeks later a dead body turns up with another note he realises its a race against time before the murderer strikes again.
This is a fast paced murder mystery, full of twists and turns, secrets and lies and so much confusions and peoples dark pasts that you have no clue who is behind the crimes. With police procedures, drama and corruption the author drags you into this world and you feel like you are solving the case alone with the Inspector.
I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for us next.
