Reseña del editor
Dedicated to her profession, DI Joanna Piercy has built her imposing reputation on the foundations of thorough investigative police work. A stalwart of the force, her years chalked up in the service have taught her to trust instinct over the speculation of co-workers and locals. However, the job which had once excited and intrigued her with every passing day, had now fallen into a familiar pattern of form filling and snide office banter. Distracted from her duty, by her recent miscarriage and split with her partner Matthew, Joanna is battling through this painful emotional period alone. She finds solace in her work, yet her focus and coherency are out of sync. She resorts to formulaic solutions to resolve her cases, having seen the same situations time and again, she assumes all cases have a simple repetitive answer. So when Arthur Pennington enters her office in a state of confused distress and reports his wife Beatrice is missing, Joanna does not reciprocate the same concern. Convinced that his wife is merely involved in an extra-marital affair, Joanna is dismissive of Arthur's concerns. But when Beatrice's strangled body is discovered recklessly dumped on the Leek moorlands, she is forced to revaluate her stance. Unbeknown to even her closest family; Beatrice had been harbouring a secret and dangerously obsessive infatuation, which had grown from her deep-rooted insecurities and low-self esteem. Joanna knew that unrequited love could be hurtful, but fatal! Continuing the DI Joanna Piercy mystery series, "Wings over the Watcher" delves deep within the complex puzzle of the female psyche, examining the warped impact marital neglect can have on a woman's mental stability.
