A popular concept in crime fiction revolves around the discovery that someone thought to be the victim of a serial killer was murdered by someone else.
Mundane? Decidedly not in
âShed No Tearsâ (Harper, $26.99, 368 pages), the third entry in Caz Frearâs series featuring Detective Constable Catrina âCatâ Kinsella of the London police.
In 2012, the disappearance of Holly Kemp was thought to be the work of Christopher Masters, who confessed to murdering three previous young women, but vacillated on whether he was responsible for Hollyâs death.
Six years later, her remains are found. Unlike the other killings, she was fatally shot, not strangled, and clothed, not naked.
