DI Siv Drummond and her partner DI Ali Carlin investigate an oddly staged murder scene in The Murder in Mallow Cottage， in which the body of a man is placed on the steps of the crematorium with three wreaths placed on it。 Then the son of a business woman and vacation rental owner in the town， Henry Kilgore， goes missing while he is in town to celebrate his friend's engagement。 Is the motive for these murders based on recent events or do they go back much further in time？While this is a relativel DI Siv Drummond and her partner DI Ali Carlin investigate an oddly staged murder scene in The Murder in Mallow Cottage， in which the body of a man is placed on the steps of the crematorium with three wreaths placed on it。 Then the son of a business woman and vacation rental owner in the town， Henry Kilgore， goes missing while he is in town to celebrate his friend's engagement。 Is the motive for these murders based on recent events or do they go back much further in time？While this is a relatively short and fast-paced novel， just 25 chapters， I struggled to feel invested in the story。 I believe this is because I didn't find the main character， Siv Drummond， to be very likeable。 She is grieving the loss of her husband and appears to have retreated into a shell， which is understandable。 However， I found the descriptions and attitude displayed toward her partner， Ali， to be rather negative and judgmental of his weight and eating habits， verging on fat-shaming。 He is supposed to be her colleague and friend， besides being a very engaging character; therefore I don't understand the lack of empathy and kindness toward him。 There is also a large number of characters introduced and it became a struggle for me to tell them apart and keep them all straight in my mind。Ultimately， this just wasn't a satisfying read for me， although a reader who had previously read the first two novels in the series might have a more positive take on it。 Thank you to Joffe Books and NetGalley for providing me with the opportunity to read it。 。。。more

This is the third story in this detective series set in Sussex and each book gets better and better as the reader gets to know more about the great set of characters featured here。 Recently widowed and still grieving， Siv has moved from a high profile role in London's Metropolitan Police to take up a post at a slower pace in her old home seaside town of Berminster。 This was where she and her sister were raised by their father after their chaotic Finnish mother Mutsi dumped them finally to run of This is the third story in this detective series set in Sussex and each book gets better and better as the reader gets to know more about the great set of characters featured here。 Recently widowed and still grieving， Siv has moved from a high profile role in London's Metropolitan Police to take up a post at a slower pace in her old home seaside town of Berminster。 This was where she and her sister were raised by their father after their chaotic Finnish mother Mutsi dumped them finally to run off with yet another lover。 Since her arrival she has already investigated two baffling murder cases and this one proves to be no different。 A body turns up at Berminster Crematorium。 Nothing unusual there except this one was laid outside minus a coffin， covered with wreaths and had been murdered。 The discovery is made more difficult for DI Siv Drummond and her loyal team of DS Ali Carlin and DC Patrick Hill by the fact that it was the very day they were saying goodbye to one of their own， DC Lisa Flore， killed by a drunk driver。 When the victim， Eugene， is identified， they find out he was childhood friends with another man， Henry， who has mysteriously gone missing from his mum’s holiday rental whilst on the way to visit a third friend of theirs， a man with a prison record。 The dead man had not visited his hometown for years so what has suddenly brought him back？ His car is found at one of Henry’s mother’s other holiday homes with a strange message inside。 Is it a warning？ Where is Henry now and is his disappearance connected to the murder？ Can Siv and her team make sense of the evidence in front of them or will they have to delve right back into the past to come up with the solution to this case？Siv is starting to fit in really well now， largely thanks to the warm and caring nature of Ali who contrasts well with her sharp edges and unwillingness to open up。 With her boss DCI Drummond now dating her mother who is back on the scene and Tommy Castles still rumoured to be wanting to move back to his old station， life is testing for Siv but at least she has Bartel， the Polish builder friend she made in book one， for good company and with the others in her team beginning to like and respect her， she is proving to be a great boss and leader。 The plot was clever， twisty and kept me guessing right the way through to the end which still took me by surprise。 This is a solid story of very likeable detectives working hard and piecing together of all the clues to reach a satisfying and plausible ending。 Highly recommended and I am looking forward to reading more books in this series。 5* 。。。more

This series is just gets better with each book。 This time DI Siv Drummond is called out when a body is found at the local crematorium - not so strange because it isn't in a coffin！ Then the son of a local business woman ， who is in town with his friends for a holiday， goes missing。 Nobody seems to know anything and with not too many clues to go on， Siv and her team struggle to find out what is going on。Really tight plot and yet as the reader， you will probably not guess the killer until the end。 This series is just gets better with each book。 This time DI Siv Drummond is called out when a body is found at the local crematorium - not so strange because it isn't in a coffin！ Then the son of a local business woman ， who is in town with his friends for a holiday， goes missing。 Nobody seems to know anything and with not too many clues to go on， Siv and her team struggle to find out what is going on。Really tight plot and yet as the reader， you will probably not guess the killer until the end。 Add to this the ongoing issues with Siv and her mother， who is also dating her boss， and you have a great read。Thanks to Joffe Books for the ARC to review。 。。。more

Murder in Mallow Cottage is the third instalment in the Detective Inspector Siv Drummond series set in the small town of Berminster， Sussex。 Siv is on her way to attend Berminster crematorium as the funeral of fallen colleague DC Lisa Flore is about to take place there。 They hadn't worked together long when she was tragically killed at New Year by a drunk driver who collided with her mowing her down with his vehicle as she strolled along the pavement。 But before it can take place， the crematoriu Murder in Mallow Cottage is the third instalment in the Detective Inspector Siv Drummond series set in the small town of Berminster， Sussex。 Siv is on her way to attend Berminster crematorium as the funeral of fallen colleague DC Lisa Flore is about to take place there。 They hadn't worked together long when she was tragically killed at New Year by a drunk driver who collided with her mowing her down with his vehicle as she strolled along the pavement。 But before it can take place， the crematorium manager， Toby Foxwell， discovers the deceased body of a man sprawled out on the front steps beneath a line of wreaths。 He looked to have been strangled and is later identified as 27-year-old Eugene Warren who moved from Berminster as a teenager after attending Fulbrook Upper School。 As Siv and her team investigate the murder， another man goes missing; 28-year-old Henry Kilgore had attended the same school as Warren and they had been friends during their formative years。The incidents， therefore， appear to be connected。 During the investigation and interviews of those who knew the two victims， a link is forged with a death that happened years prior in the town when a young girl died after ingesting alcohol and party drugs during a school holiday shindig。 It's clear that there's a conspiracy to keep what happened a secret， so Siv and the team certainly have their work cut out for them。 This is an intriguing， engrossing and original mystery and with few suspects， Siv must work her team doggedly to get to the truth。 There are ample twists and turns to keep you guessing until the morning light and a few red herrings too which alter the direction of the plot。 Mulrooney does a staggering job of keeping the perpetrator under wraps until near the end and even then the culprit and the information that unravels about the links between the cases leaves you in shock。 It's compulsive， cleverly plotted and features interesting， well-developed characters。 Highly recommended。 。。。more

An intriguing murder mystery mostly centered around a Victorian cemetary and the characters who work there。The prologue features the death of a young girl。Another exciting though sad case for DI Siv Drummond。 I loved the references to Walthamstow Wetlands and Lockwood Reservoir。In all， well thought out with plenty of surprises。
