THE MURDER BOX
by Olivia Kiernan (Riverrun £14.99, 336 pp)
The fourth book featuring Detective Chief Superintendent Frankie Sheehan of the Bureau for Serious Crime in Dublin is even better than its predecessors, with a wonderful hook to draw us in.
Sheehan is struggling with the disappearance of high-profile Irish TV personality Teddy Dolan, when a glossy red box is delivered to her office. ‘Welcome to The Murder Box,’ the introductory letter announces, ‘the addictive murder- mystery game’.
At first she thinks it’s a joke, but then she examines the contents, which appear to include droplets of real blood, an earring and an authentic post-mortem report.
