A shadow minister dies on a public bench, an elderly woman dies alone at home, and one detective inspector refuses to call it coincidence. A British police procedural about what the victims shared and who needed them gone. A senior politician found dead on a bench. An elderly woman found lifeless in her home. One detective connecting the dots. Detective Inspector Miranda Murphy is used to political spin, but when Shadow Health Minister Patrick Webster dies in public under suspicious circumstances, the truth proves harder to bury. Fentanyl in his system suggests murder, not misadventure. A connection to a woman found dead in her flat a few days earlier makes it clear that Patrick Webster's wasn't the first death. And it won't be the last. The victims must all have something in common: but what is it?Dying Off, the gripping fifth instalment in the Detective Miranda Murphy series by Eva McLean, is a twist-filled police procedural that'll keep crime lovers guessing until the final page. 'Plotted with impressive intricacy and hugely satisfying.' - Sophie HannahDying Off is book six in the Detective Miranda Murphy, a thriller for fans of Ann Cleeves and Elly Griffiths.
