Ann Cleeves Classic Crime - engaging mysteries to savour, beloved characters to meet again

Killjoy is the fourth mystery novel in the Inspector Ramsay series by Ann Cleeves, Sunday Times bestselling author of the Shetland, Vera Stanhope and Two Rivers crime series.

The youth theatre cast are in their places, but Gus Lynch's female lead, Gabriella, is missing. That is, until she's found in the boot of his car.

Inspector Stephen Ramsay and Sergeant Gordon Hunter are assigned to head the murder enquiry. Meanwhile violence is escalating on the Starling Farm Estate, as police battle to contain the latest outbreak of joyriding. Inspector Ramsay suspects the death of Gabriella may be connected to the events at Starling Farm. But Sergeant Hunter insists otherwise, and tempers run high.

When another death occurs, a possible link between them is uncovered. Yet what could have provoked someone to kill . . . and kill again?
