This is the second title to feature Luke Thanet and those around him including his sergeant Mike. Each title in this series is a classic British village mystery/police procedural. The recurring characters and getting to know Luke’s family as they grow up adds to the pleasure of the stories.
This time a rather self contained resident of Nettleton is murdered. She will not be the only victim.
The clues in the story are fair and the solution is satisfying. All in all, a good series for those who enjoy traditional mysteries. The books can be read in any order. There are fifteen of them so fans will be left with lots to read.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Open Road Integrated Media for this title. All opinions are my own.
