Review: The Tattoo Thief
The Tattoo Thief by Alison Belsham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved reading The Tattoo Thief by Alison Belsham, who has clearly done a great deal of research for this.
It’s a tale of Francis Sullivan a newly qualified DI, in his first role, when a body is found with a tattoo removed, and here is where it gets gruesome and dark.
There are small asides in the voice of the murderer which gives the insights to their mind and the details of the flaying and subsequent curing of human skin are really well done.
Marni Mullins is a tattooist, who while she hates the police, she helps DI Sullivan to identify the bodies using tattoo’s. She has her own problems with an ex-husband Thierry and a son, but she is a really likeable character as is ‘Frank’. Sullivan. There is an overbearing boss, a sneaky subordinate and a lot of tension when Marni goes missing...
A great thriller
I would like to thank the Alison Belsham/the Publishers/NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review
