Review:
'Ragdoll' introduces the characters Wolf and Baxter. The detectives are working together to catch the man who has killed at least 6 people and attached all their bodies together to form what the press have dubbed the 'Ragdoll'. Wolf and Baxter are working with the rest of the team in the Homicide and Serious Crime Command to find out who is responsible for the killings and what links all the victims. Wolf is not the most popular detective in the team. Reinstated due to public pressure following him losing his job after nearly killing a previous suspect, Wolf still struggles to follow the rules. Cole has managed to introduce not just a winning protagonist, but a winning team of characters. Each one feels real and believable, each one has both faults and redeeming features which immediately give you a connection and empathy with them. The plot will draw you in from the first line and leave you wanting more once the book has finished. Cole has an easy style of writing making his books enjoyable to read. An excellent mix of gripping story line, depth of character and humour. 'Ragdoll' brings Cole firmly to the forefront of thriller writers. Definitely not one to be missed.
