At the top of his game

Book Review The Red Shoes Mystery by David Pearson

David Pearson continues to delight his many fans with his latest crime novel, in which his investigators O’Shea and Maguire face their most challenging case yet—the mysterious death of Maria Hyka.

As Maguire and her team dig deeper, they uncover connections to a shadowy underworld and, as ever, with David’s books, it is his ability to utilise the three main pillars of good storywriting that makes his novels so enjoyable.

The plot is strong and twists and turns towards the dramatic conclusion, the characters are, as ever, depicted with an acute sense of observation – these are real people - and the locations are so well described that the readers forgets where they are and step into the story.

As for the story, it delves into a world of deceit, lies and corruption that test the investigators to the limit. David Pearson at his best!
