"Absolutely brilliant. A real page-turner. Highly original. I could not put this thriller down." Chris Anderson

A gripping murder mystery detective thriller that keeps you guessing until the end.

Detective Inspector Munro is a burly Scottish policeman who doesn’t suffer fools gladly. Detective Sergeant West is an intelligent young woman, new to the force, with a lot to prove.

When a missing person case lands on their desks, Munro is skeptical there is much to it. But their investigation soon comes to some strange findings, and before long, a body is found.

With a serial killer on their hands they must act fast to trace a woman placed at the scene of the crime. Yet discovering her true identity, let alone finding her, proves difficult. And as the plot thickens they realize the crime is far graver than either of them could have imagined.

If you like crime fiction with a killer twist you will love SHE, the latest Scandinavian style suspense thriller by Pete Brassett.

"When you read Brassett's books you enter a world you don't want to leave." Sally Heath

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Pete Brassett is the author of the best-selling series of detective novels based in and around his native Scotland featuring James Munro and Charlie West.

Following the publication of his debut novel, 'Clam Chowder at Lafayette and Spring', Pete ventured into the world of crime fiction tackling issues like PTSD, religious scandal, and manic depression with the novels 'Kiss the Girls', 'Prayer for the Dying' and 'The Girl From Kilkenny', before moving onto subject matter a little closer to home.

The forging of the Munro and West relationship begins with a fractious encounter in east London where a dissolute West, struggling with personal problems and misogynistic colleagues, is mentored by Munro who, recognising her potential, hoodwinks her into joining him back in Scotland where she flourishes as a first-class, yet ultimately flawed, detective.

Macabre, but fascinating

Reviewed in Australia on 12 March 2017

The detail of the plot, and surrounding murders is chillingly real. Not sure I liked the premise of the story, but I couldn't put it down. I like Inspector James Munro, but really fancy Seargeant West. Look forward to more cases starring these two.

DI Munro is a funny, witty

Reviewed in Australia on 18 August 2016

Slow to start with. DI Munro is a funny, witty, highly intelligent Scot with an inexperienced side kick trying to track a gruesome serial killer.
It's a readable book but nothing to rave about.

Different. Takes a bit of getting used to but I suspect it will grow on a person.

A boss from Scotland. A detective from London, who has a drinking problem. Might take time to understand each other. And readers who find the Scots difficult to understand.

A book on basic grammar would be useful to the author

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 June 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a good story, told in an unusual fashion utilising alternate points of view that didn't really work for me as a reader. The characters are compelling, though DI Munro frequently makes leaps of deduction that appeared to me to be unsupported by the evidence obtained, and the dialogue was convincing. The real irritation is the punctuation, with more commas per square inch than in any other book i've ever read. It's almost as if the author bought a kind of job lot of 20,000 commas to be used in the book and was absolutely determined to use every one of them. The result is extraordinarily disjointed writing with almost every sentence broken up by completely unnecessary commas, which makes reading the book quite hard work. And the author also appears not to be aware that 'it's' is the contracted form of 'it is' and his usage of the contraction is clearly illiterate. and there are the usual selection of typos and the occasional missing word that a decent copy-editor should have picked up. In short, a good story, but the writing definitely needs work.

Good reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2016

I thoroughly enjoyed She which is the tale of DI Hunter and DS West's hunt for a killer, interspersed with scenes from her life, told by her boyfriend in the first person. This is the crux of the novel, no one knows who she is, including her boyfriend.

DI Hunter, smart and experienced, is mentoring DS West, young and smart if a little naïve, in her hunt for a missing man. When his body is found they find plenty of secrets in his life and come to suspect an old flame.

I really liked the journey in this novel. It twists and turns, right up to the end, which holds another ambiguous turn I'm not sure I have understood correctly. I'm still wondering where it all fits in. Whatever, it is amazing whichever way you interpret it. The novel is also amusing - DI Munro has a dry humour and DS West is a good foil, her sometimes naïvety giving him plenty of opportunity to exercise it.

It is difficult to review this novel without spoilers as everything is inextricably linked in a rather vague way (just like my attempted explanation) so I suggest you just read it and enjoy a good, clever piece of writing.

This is not the most riveting book I have read and I didn’t care much for the alternating voices of the investigation team and the person who was ultimately held to be responsible for the killings. It didn’t really work and the information it provided was not worth the irritation it caused.

I wasn’t enamoured of the characters in the investigation team, one appeared to be a bit lazy, dense and uncommitted whilst the DI, though astute, was condescending and annoying. When the identity enigma was finally resolved it was, sadly, a little too predictable.

Whilst I didn’t hate the book and never considered not finishing it, I didn’t find it absorbing and hard to put down. In all honesty, I found myself hoping that it would improve as it progressed. In the interests of fairness, I will give the second book in the series a try but I don’t promise to finish it.

It is worth waiting to get to the end

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 January 2021

Verified Purchase

I found this book slow moving and frankly struggled through it. The characters didn't seem to have any flesh and I never felt that I knew them. I was constantly irritated at the fact that the femal sergeant seemed to have no common sense and no knowledge of the world around her. To have been promoted to that rank she must have had something more than a vacant brain. As I said I struggled through this one but was delighted as I almost reached the end. Then at the very end I was shocked rigid and had to reassess everything that I had already read. Great ending. One other minor criticism is that I found myself becoming confused as to who was who within the cast of characters. Perhaps if they had a bit more personality I may have been able to distinguish between them.

An intriguing murder mystery with good characterisation and lots of twists and turns right up until the end!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2017

Verified Purchase

An intriguing murder mystery that I found a little perplexing. It is very atmospheric and the story has lots of twists and turns. There is good characterisation, particularly for DI Munro, a Scottish detective who has moved to London. There are some humorous moments that act as a counter balance to some of the more gruesome aspects of the story (although it is not particularly gory).
But I felt the way the story was told from the point of view from two different characters was possibly just a little too clever. The story opens with one character talking about someone and then it shifts to a police investigation into a missing person before returning to the narrative of the original character (and so on throughout the story). I actually went back and re-read the story from the beginning once I had read about 60 pages as I thought I must have misunderstood or missed something. In fact starting it again at this point actually helped with my understanding of what was happening .. until I reached the end which has a final twist that is quite thought provoking.
So if you enjoy stories where you try to figure out 'who dunnit it' before the police, this intelligent, yet intriguing, story is probably for you.
