Review: The Walker (Briony Williams, #1)
Gaby Meares
This was such a surprise book! I picked it up at a community book exchange, just for something to read while having a coffee. I finished it the next day! I literally couldn’t put it down. This is a fabulous crime novel, told from several points of view, including the murder’s. It’s set in 1970s London, where our main narrator, Detective Briony Williams, is finding it hard going in a very male work environment and has to fight to prove she’s as good as the rest of the team. The murders are gruesome, with references to Jack the Ripper & Charles Manson. My only gripe is I felt the end was a bit rushed after such a build-up - but it’s only a tiny gripe! If you’re feeling like a cracking good crime novel, then this is it! I’m now in search of the next Briony Williams adventure to read: The Visitor.
