Dark Truths by A.J. Cross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In the car park near to a jogging trail, a headless body is discovered. It is up to Detective Inspector Bernard Watts and his team to investigate. Complications occur when skulls are discovered nearby. Will Traynor a criminologist is bought in to help, though still trying to deal with his wife's death some ten years ago.
The story in this first book of the series deals more with the crimes and investigation of Watts than Traynor which may change as the series develops. I also found the character of PC Judd to be irritating and sometimes inappropriate for what is a hierarchical environment.
But overall an interesting and enjoyable well-written story, a good start to the series.
