This gripping story begins with a robbery that tragically resulted in one person’s death and left another person kidnapped. Our detectives are left meticulously examining the crime scene, diligently searching for clues that will lead them to the whereabouts of the teenage victim before it’s too late. The narrative is masterfully crafted with ingenious little twists that propel the story forward, making it an irresistible read that keeps you engaged from beginning to end.

It Never Rains starts with the kidnap of a footballer's son and the murder of his bodyguard. DCI Roscoe and DS Roy are on the case, tracking the missing sixteen year old. They soon have some details on the gang but who was behind the crime? There's more to this one than first appears.

This is the sixth in a series but it works as a standalone novel. The pace is a little slow, with the occasional, "a few days later", or "a week had passed" when nothing apparently happened of note. The plot is decent although the characters are a little one dimensional and the dialogue is very formal and stilted in places.

It never rains but it pours…. When a ruthless gang burgles the home of a Premier League football player, DCI Gavin Roscoe and DS Sunita Roy suddenly have a murder and a kidnap on their hands. The footballer’s stepson, Marcel, is taken from the palatial property whilst it is being ransacked, and his bodyguard is shot, stone cold dead!! Great book! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a great who done it and a few crazy twists and turns. The story was interesting! Everything is not what it seems!! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
