Dangerous Games

I've very much enjoyed Dangerous Games by Sally Spencer. Set in 1965 Lancashire, a headless body is found in a waterway and later is found to be a murder victim, killed then hanged from a bridge. When another victim is hanged DCI Woodend and his team look for a connection and find it with a group of soldiers who served in Cyprus seven years earlier. Eventually the reasoning behind the killings is revealed as relating to an incident on Cyprus during their service that was then "covered up". I enjoyed the Woodend character. He had great wit and humour and did not suffer fools gladly. I will read more of Spencer's books. She also writes under pseudonym of Alan Rustage. 4/5
