Although Kate London joined the metropolitan police service and worked in major investigation team on SC& 01 the metropolitan police service's Homicide command, it doesn't matter what your background is or what your job is is you do, it's still difficult to put scenes in your head and write them, it is without question a hard process to tell a story. I can tell you it's hard to write a novel with characters that will keep the reader glued to every chapter. Kate London does just that her characters are convincing. It doesn't matter where you live we are all aware that knife crime has hit a high time level. Knife crime has happened for all sorts of reasons. This story broke my heart. Without giving too much away Spencer a young teenager boy is stabbed, with losing lots of blood. His friend Ryan withheld his name when calling for help. At the time of the call Spencer was conscious and breathing. But once the paramedics arrive Spencer had died. Ryan is now the only witness to who stabbed Spencer, but will he tell the police who killed his friend? A lot goes on during the run up to finding out who killed Spencer and why? I have read post Mortem by Kate London that I gave five stars too and now I just have to give Gallowstree Lane five huge stars. I recommend both of these titles of books that I have read for the marvellous writing.
