While I loved the first couple Logan McRae books, I went off them when MacBride brought in Insp. Steele and turned McRae into a gormless wimp. In this outing (#7), however, Steele is barely in it and the story benefits greatly. Allison and her daughter Jenny are rising stars on a reality show to find Britain's next great talent. But they've been kidnapped and threats are issued that they will be killed if "enough" ransom is not raised.
