Kill Shot by Sally Rigby
The game is over.....there’s nowhere to hide.
When Lenchester’s most famous sportsman is shot dead, DCI Whitney Walker and her team are thrown into the world of snooker.
She calls on forensic psychologist Dr Georgina Cavendish to assist, but the investigation takes them in a direction which has far-reaching, international ramifications.
Much to Whitney’s annoyance, a member of the Met’s fraud squad is sent to assist.
But as everyone knows…three’s a crowd.
Kill Shot is the tenth book in the acclaimed Cavendish & Walker series. Perfect for fans of Simon McCleave, J M Dalgleish, J R Ellis and Faith Martin.

Review.
I believe that this has been my favourite outing of Cavendish and Walker so far! I also can't believe that we are onto the 10th book in the series! However, if this is your first Sally Rigby book you can read this as a stand-alone. I do recommend the rest in the series though. ‘Kill Shot’ captivated me from the beginning to the end. That extra character of DI Clifford was a breath of fresh air and shook things up!
When DI Walker is called to the shooting of Lencester’s more prominent sportsman she knows that that this is going to be a high profile case. She calls in Dr Cavendish to assist but when a witness is flagged to a Met investigation they are told to cooperate with the member of staff the Met is sending across to them, namely DI Clifford.
Oh, how I fell for DI Clifford, the member of the aristocracy who became a police officer! I am excited to find out that he is going to be the main character of a new series that Sally is writing. But I had grandiose ideas of him and Whitney falling in love, opposites attract and all that. Well, they are very similar in a lot of ways. They could be a wee crime-fighting duo but alas it is not meant to be.
As always it was great to return to this series. I have grown to love all the characters in the team and it's also lovely to see a bit more about the girl's private lives I.e. Tiffany being back from Australia and Paul wanting to progress in his relationship. It seemed as if Whitney was maturing in her personality and working on her flaws, which was refreshing to see.
I found the reason why Clifford joined the team fascinating. It's not something that I have read a lot about apart from the main articles when that issue emerges on the big stage. Finding about all the ins and outs of this issue was riveting and wonder if this topic will continue into his series. I would read that!
You won't be disappointed with ‘Kill Shot’ as it was as if Sally’s already exceptional writing went up a gear. It was captivating and I read it in one sitting! I'm excited to read her new series but in the meantime, I'm eagerly awaiting the next one in this series!
