A topical story: Shadow Hill

by Thomas Kies

I love the choices that the Poisoned Pen Press makes when choosing titles. This book is no exception. It is so topical with climate change as an issue that focuses much of the action. The story opens as a couple is found dead. Was it a murder/suicide or could it have been a carefully staged execution? The couple’s son wants to know.

Enter Geneva Chase. She is a complex character who was introduced in an earlier novel. I have not read that one but will probably go back and do so. Geneva has her own issues, problems and people surrounding her. What will happen as she investigates events?

This title will be enjoyed by those who like a contemporary story with characters that come to life.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.
