Review -Scream by Nigel McCrery

DCI Mark Lapslie has an intriguing neurological condition – synaesthesia – which means he experiences a taste sensation when he hears sounds. The tastes are not at all related to the sound and may be pleasant or nasty. The story involves his condition in an intricate plot where a tape of a woman screaming is the only clue that the police have to go on. Why does she scream 27 times before she dies and who else has gone missing? This is a well written, competent police procedural but be warned there are very gruesome murders. Wendy
