The Kill Call by Stephen BoothMy review
rating: 4 of 5 starsVenturing into Dick Francis' territory, this mystery (about hunting, horse meat and the Royal Observer Corps) is almost incidental to the interpersonal relationships. Unlike most "partner" mysteries, Diane Fry and Ben Cooper do not really function as a unit. They work together, but they don't get along and they only seem to interact when absolutely necessary or when Cooper inserts himself into Fry's cases. It's not a sexual tension, it's just plain tension.
I like the characters, all flawed humans with sometimes good intentions, and the mystery is a good excuse to eavesdrop on their lives.
