Interplay between two cases makes for an exciting read and the continuing personal storyline of the characters adds depth to this gripping and fascinating whodunit and why. It’s London based, swinging from gangland grit to the high echelons of the House of Lords, wonderful contrast in a very fine novel. It’s actually the seventh story to feature barrister Trish Maguire and carries a strong message about corruption in the authorities. Natasha gets better with each book, she is well worth investigation. Do try her.

About Gagged and Bound
Distinguished biographer Beatrice Bowman is being sued for libel by a new member of the House of Lords for implicating him in a thirty-year-old terrorist outrage. At the other end of the legal spectrum, a family of South London villains gags and suffocates those who try to expose their secrets. And Inspector Caro Lyalt has to decide what to do with information from a whistle-blower that could ruin a colleague's career - or her own.

Maxim Jakubowski's view on KAREN TAYLOR...
British author Natasha Cooper introduces this new character, a forensic psychologist, in NO ESCAPE.
Dark psychological tones and tortured relationships define the feisty
character who proves a worthy addition to the ranks of complex heroines
with a dark past, as she comes to probe the mind of a psychopath in an
Isle of Wight prison. Cooper previously wrote the Trish Maguire series,
with a female lawyer at the helm, also worth looking out for.
