Stella Bruno Investigates is a series of
quick reads - books designed to be read in one sitting. Each book in the series
only takes around an hour and a half to two hours to read. So, there’s no
waiting for days to find out who did it.
The series is set in and around Adelaide,
South Australia, and centres on criminal investigations led by Detective
Sergeant Stella Bruno. I have the inside information on Adelaide - it’s my home
town.
Stella is assisted by Detective Constable
Brian Rhodes, who’s approaching retirement, harassed by Detective Inspector
Frank Williams, and distracted by Shaun Porter from the Office of the Director
of Public Prosecutions.
In addition to all the crime, the stories
also follow Stella’s developing relationship with Shaun and provide insights
into her life as a single mother with a fourteen-year old son. You’ll also
discover some of the benefits she enjoys by being part of an extended Italian
family.
If you’ve never been to Australia, these
stories will give you a little taste of life ‘down under’ where you can
experience the North Wind as hot and blustery and winters without snow and ice.
A Deadly Game of Hangman, Book 4 in the series, tells the story of
Stella’s investigation into the murder of a young man whose body is found
hanging from a tree in Adelaide’s famous Park Lands, which ring the city
centre. The killer tried to disguise the murder as a suicide but there are some
things about a hanging that you just can’t hide from a forensic pathologist,
like Dr Steve Wright.
The case gets a little more interesting
when the body of a friend of the first victim is found hanging from a tree in
Morialta Park, in the foothills on the eastern edge of the Adelaide
metropolitan area, and the similarities strongly suggest to Stella that she is
dealing with a serial killer.
And, just to keep you up until you’ve
finished, I’ve built in a little bit of suspense towards the end.
The other titles in the series published to
date are:
·
The Identity Thief.
·
A Gun of Many Parts.
·
Bones in the Forest.
A
Deadly Game of Hangman is available from Amazon.
