Two Evils is Mark Sennen’s return of Di Charlotte Savage series bringing her once again in to a quite twisted thriller that keeps you on edge from beginning to end. Two Evils could possibly be the most twisted, showing the darkest depth that the human psyche can reach when it will not only affect those involved but will leave a mark on the reader. DI Savage is hoping to keep a low profile with the Chief Constable on the war path especially as Savage’s reputation tends to make enemies with the higher ranks and earned a few nicknames with all the others. She would like something of a run of a mill case to keep her ticking over and out of her superior’s crosshairs, and all would be fine with the world. When a young boy goes missing she is leading the case to find him, but when a body is found things take a turn for the worst, and she is taken off the case. She is asked to review an old case, a case that is colder than stone, an historic missing child case that may or may not have something to do with alleged child abuse at a now closed children’s home. At the same time her team are also investigating another missing persons case, who just seems to have disappeared on Dartmouth without leaving a trail. Then when they find that a local vicar has also gone missing things take a turn for the psychological weird as neither seems to have anything in common with each other. The Chief Constable wants results, all the cases have one thing in common, very little evidence, no connection and seem to be stalling rather fast. Savage is keenly aware that she needs to make headway somehow and at the same time try not to set a chain of events start that would bring her to the attention of senior officers for all the wrong reasons. One thing Savage is sure of is that the longer the cases run the more likely that they are going to find dead rather than live victims. In a race against time and trying to find what links everything together places Savage and her team under pressure. One thing Savage is very sure of is that somewhere out in the Devon area is a very twisted, sick person leading the police a merry dance and causing psychological trauma as they go. Mark Sennen has created a masterpiece with Two Evils as you are never really sure who is good, who is bad and who is really twisted. He has written this so that you can see the pain and pressure that is going through a police team as they search for someone who has committed a crime against a child. At times you feel that the police are like lobsters caught in a pot with no opportunity to escape their situation. Like all crime writers Sennen is brilliant at drawing the reader in to a deep, dark and very twisted plot with hope that there is light at the end of the dark tunnel. Two Evils is a brilliantly dark and twisted thriller that will keep you on edge and is Charlotte Savage’s
