A senior politician found dead on a bench. An elderly woman found lifeless in her home. One detective connecting the dots.
Detective Inspector Miranda Murphy is used to political spin, but when Shadow Health Minister Patrick Webster dies in public under suspicious circumstances, the truth proves harder to bury. Fentanyl in his system suggests murder, not misadventure.
A connection to a woman found dead in her flat a few days earlier makes it clear that Patrick Webster’s was not the first death.
And it won’t be the last.
The victims must all have something in common: but what is it?
Dying Off, the gripping fifth instalment in the Detective Miranda Murphy series by Eva McLean, is a twist-filled police procedural that will keep crime lovers guessing until the final page.
Eva Maclean read her first Agatha Christie (Death in the Clouds) at age ten and has been obsessed with detective fiction and writing ever since. After a past life as an accountant, she is finally doing what she wanted to do in the first place. Eva lives in London with her husband and two cats, her children having grown up and made good their escape. Her favourite living authors are Kate Atkinson, Donna Leon and Mick Herron. The dead are too many to count.
