Day of the Dead is the eighth and final installment in the series of crime novels featuring the psychotherapist Frieda Klein and her would-be nemesis Dean Reeve.  By now it’s familiar fare: an implausible story line redeemed by likeable characters and driven by slick, cleverly plotted storytelling.  Frieda and Dean, having played cat-and-mouse over eight novels, are heading towards their inevitable final confrontation, the path to which is littered with more bloody corpses than London would normally expect to see in a year.  Fear not: I won’t spoil the fun by revealing the dénouement.  I’m going to miss this series, which I’ve been reading for several years.  It will be interesting to see where husband-and-wife team Nicci Gerard and Sean French go next.
