BACK OF THE BOOK:
Dripping with today’s divisive social and political animosities.
The dismembered corpse of a woman is found outside London. Days later and with no apparent connection, private investigator Tammy Pierre is called upon by her former Police Chief Inspector to investigate the politically sensitive disappearance of the wife of billionaire politician, Oscar Mountford, who’s in line to become Britain’s new Chancellor of the Exchequer.
We learn early on that he’s a far-right extremist involved in a plot to take over the UK government and coordinate with like-minded extremists in the US and European governments. Although pregnant, Tammy follows leads that take her inside Mountford’s family and across the Atlantic as bodies begin to pile up.
Can she make the connections to unravel the conspiracy and avoid becoming the next victim?
REVIEW:
The Politician’s Wife by Andrew Segal is the third book in the Tammy Pierre Murder Mystery Thriller Series, continuing the story of private investigator Tammy Pierre.
This time, Tammy is called upon by her former Police Chief Inspector to investigate the disappearance of the wife of billionaire politician Oscar Mountford, who is poised to become Britain’s next Chancellor of the Exchequer.
As the mystery unfolds, Tammy joins forces with both old and new allies to unravel a web of secrets that seem unrelated, but are they?
I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns that kept the thriller moving at a compelling pace. The characters are well-crafted, especially Tammy, who leaps off the page as a standout protagonist. It’s no surprise the series has now reached three books, Tammy is a character many readers will undoubtedly love.
Andrew Segal has a real talent for crafting gripping stories that keep readers hooked. My only criticism is the level of detail given to describing characters outfits in new scenes. At times, it felt more like a list than an organic part of the narrative, which occasionally pulled me out of what was otherwise an excellent story. Personally, I believe less is more when it comes to description, allowing the readers imagination to fill in the gaps.
