Synopsis

A British police detective’s latest case gets curiouser and curiouser in this hard-hitting novel by the author of The Devil’s Line.
DSI Billie Wilde’s romantic relationship is intense—but it’s nothing compared to the pressure of her latest case, especially since the new chief of police is gunning for her squad. If they don’t get a handle on a series of deaths—which seem to have a connection to Alice in Wonderland—they could wind up being demoted. And the identity of one of the victims has made things devastatingly personal for Billie.
In search of clues, she winds up working closely with PI Ellis Darque, who is working undercover. But as Billie works to sort out what’s going on behind the scenes, and confronts dark truths about her own family, she starts to feel like she’s gone through the looking-glass herself . . .
This chilling police procedural by the author of The Magpie, finalist for the Lindisfarne Prize for Crime Fiction, is a compelling tale filled with complex motives, tangled mysteries, and shocking surprises.

Ingenious murders which get curiouser and curiouser but Billie Wilde is on the case and is determined to get the right answers. Fantastic twist at the end. Look forward to more adventures with Billi......more

This is a good read. It took me a while to get into it with all the Alice in Wonderland references but ultimately people are being killed and Ellie and her team are hunting a killer. Ellie has a new boss who really has it in for her at first, but after seeing Ellie work, she realises she may have mi......more

The Mad Hatter Murders is the 3rd crime novel by Marisse Whittaker to feature DSI Billie Wilde. It is a very entertaining and gritty plot, set in the North East of England. There is much excitement in the area because Hollywood stars have arrived with a film unit, shooting scenes on location from Lew......more
