I would have loved to find out what happens to her character.įor those wondering if you can read this book without seeing the series and still be able to follow along, yes! This lays the groundwork for what's to come in the series. But where DS Justin Ripley is just a fringe character in the book, he plays a major role as Luther's subordinate on TV, and DS Howie disappears altogether. She fulfills the role that we see played by Justin Ripley in the series. One character that really impressed me, that I don't recall seeing in the television series, is DS Isobel Howie. I highly suggest fans of the miniseries give this a read as it offers a lot of insight into Luther and provides background about his friendship with Ian Reed, whom you'll remember from season one. And that could ultimately lead to his downfall. As much as he's able to serve and protect others, he can't get a grip on his personal life. While he has all of that going on, he still takes the time to assist an elderly man that's being harassed by a couple of thugs who feel he's blocking a high dollar real estate deal. As he tracks down a murdering kidnapper, he pulls out all stops to locate the missing children and figure out just who the kidnapper is. But it's his intensity that allows DCI Luther to excel at his profession.
