Publisher's summary

Shifting Skin - Killing them wasn't enough...

'The Butcher of Belle Vue' has struck again. Like the first two victims, the third has been partially skinned and dumped on waste ground. Only this time, her face has also been removed. Jon Spicer and his new partner, Rick Saville, are approached by a woman who insists she heard 'The Butcher' claiming his latest victim in the next-door room of a run-down hotel in Belle Vue. But all she has to back up her story is an Escort’s business card recovered from the empty room the following morning. Jon's investigation takes him into the twilight world of Manchester's sex workers and the unscrupulous cosmetic surgery industry, eventually forcing him to confront the potential for violence within every man - even within himself.

I found this book entertaining but

I found this book entertaining but struggled with the narrator. Chris Simms described characters and places well and the story was well paced with a number of unexpected developments that kept me interested until the end. I liked this book and would have liked to follow the series, but grudgingly put it in the second tier of my library because I could not get comfortable with the narrator.
