Blunt Impact (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

Enjoyable fifth in a mystery series featuring forensic scientist theresa, set in cleveland, with a nicely assorted and multi-faceted cast of characters an especially touching relationship between theresa and the young girl called Ghost, who witnesses her mother's death at a construction site...quite a few implausible coincidences, but lots of interesting construction industry background to compensate, and well-propelled suspense The discovery of the body of a young woman found at Cleveland building site early one morning looks initially to be a suicide, but forensic scientist Theresa MacClean, has her doubts. A number of unexplained anomalies raise questions that she wants answered before she is sure.Eleven-year-old Ghost has a habit of nocturnal wondering when she can’t sleep, and had learned to exit and enter her home by the window silently. On one of her night rambles she is witness to the sight of someone being pushed from a high building under construction. The young woman was in fact one of the construction workers and Theresa along with the police detectives assigned to the investigationAngela and Theresa’s cousin Frank have many lines of enquiry – the one the construction company would prefer is suicide, but could the victim have discovered something fraudulent that someone didn’t want known, or did she fall? Ghost says the woman was pushed, but cannot provide a description, but only identifies as a shadow man! But the killer is already aware that there was a witness, and is determined that she will not live to identify him. Will he catch up with Ghost?As the investigation proceeds I tried in vain to work out whodunit! There are several threads running through the story and quite a cast of characters. Along side the investigation I also enjoyed the personal relationships, but nothing prepared me for the nail-biting climax. ------Reviewer: Lizzie Hayes
