About Book: It’s 1989 - the so-called Second Summer of Love

The days are endlessly hot, and ravers are riding on a hedonistic wave of Acid House and MDMA. It’s the biggest youth movement since the 60’s and it’s out of control. Rave organisers mix with underworld gangsters who don’t care about the devastating consequences. But when ravers start dying, undercover cops are sent to infiltrate the chaotic, deadly scene. Little did anyone know that their actions in those heady days would come back to haunt them nearly a decade later. Was it really the Second Summer of Love, or a deadly Summer of Death? And can the instigators be caught twice?

 

My Thoughts: Catch Me twice by Catherine Yaffe is a crime thriller and the 4th book in the DI Ziggy Thornes series but can be read as a standalone. The book hooks you in right from the start with the story showing a moment in time in the late 80’s where raves were rife but so was the dark side of crime. Yaffe’s writing shows interesting characters with flaws, although they could have been developed further, but I wonder if I had read the first three books, I may have picked up a little more. The story has its surprising moments which unfold and kept me guessing until the end.

The book is a true blend of 80’s nostalgia albeit form the seedier side of life, with suspense that will appeal to you if you love crime and a bit of history thrown in.
