“Deadly Deceit” is the third in Mari Hannah’s ‘DCI Kate Daniels’ series of police procedurals set in and around Newcastle. 

 

Kate is fast becoming my favourite female detective, she’s so professional, full of empathy for victims, a sympathetic boss and a genuine nice person and the cases she is tasked to solve are given her unconditional attention. 

 

The A1 crash that starts the book was very realistic and really quite harrowing to follow but gave a definite unique storyline, considering how it developed and formed the basis for the whole story. 

 

Being set in my local area, I loved being able to recognise the places mentioned and it always give a homely familiar feeling when settling down to read a book you can relate to. 

 

As usual with a developing series, they are best read in order but each can be equally read and enjoyed as standalone books.
