    About this audiobook

    SHORTLISTED FOR THE JOHN CREASEY DEBUT DAGGER AWARD 2019

    ‘The first in a promising series’Sunday Times
    ’Remarkable’ Paul Finch;
    ‘Impressive’Daily Mail;

    A headmistress is found strangled in an East London school, the victim of a ritualistic act of violence. Found at the scene is a single piece of card, upon which is written an ancient Buddhist precept:

    I SHALL ABSTAIN FROM TAKING THE UNGIVEN.

    At first, DI Maya Rahman can’t help but hope this is a tragic but isolated murder. Then, the second body is found.

    Faced with a community steeped in secrets and prejudice, Maya must untangle the cryptic messages left at the crime scenes to solve the deadly riddle behind the murders – before the killer strikes again.

    Turn a Blind Eye is the first book in a brand-new series set in East London and starring DI Maya Rahman.

      Unusually for me, I found the chapters which went back in time to Maya's childhood very interesting, and they didn't slow down the main narrative. In the present day story, Maya is investigating the murder of a headmistress in her office on the first day of school. Despite the fact the Maya is the DI and Dan her Sergeant newly arrived from Australia, it seemed that Dan did all the work and made all the decisions and Maya fended off their incompetent boss and followed Dan around. Dan was an odd character, seemingly instinctively able to navigate his way around a new culture and work environment, while missing the family he appeared to have intentionally left behind in Australia. The multiculturalism of Mile End was well depicted, although there were places where characters lectured each other on aspects of this, presumably so the reader was clear on the author's stance on issues. The chapters from Steve's perspective initially focussed on his love life, although references to this tailed off. I did appreciate his desire to help the police though - often in crime novels all the characters go out of their way to be obstructive, which seems to me unrealistic. I also appreciated the fact he was a decent teacher.The motive of the murderer was not entirely straightforward to me, but the conclusion was reasonably satisfactory.
