Great storytelling。This is a great read。 I found I couldn’t put it down and finished with a day which now means I have a long wait for the next book in the series。 (I have read every book in the series so far。) I found I have connected with the characters and enjoying reading about their developing relationships with each other。 The plot has lots of twists and turns and realistic suspects。 Just when you think you have it all sorted something happens and you realise you got it wrong。
Beth,
Wow!!This book really is a thriller! This is one of my favorite series。 The detectives are great。 They get along, they have a boss who appreciates them and the stories are fantastic! I did not see that ending coming。 I look forward to the next book。 I highly recommend this book。
Dot,
This thriller begins with the intriguing murder of a young mother and the abduction of her disabled child。 Working to identify motives, timelines, and suspects, our detectives learn that there are multiple hidden layers within this family dynamic。 Imminent changes threaten to wreck a tenuous hold on the family’s best attempts at a normal life。Although I thoroughly enjoyed this Hidden Norfolk mystery, I’m really hoping our detectives will soon get a clue about their own lives。 Settling for less i This thriller begins with the intriguing murder of a young mother and the abduction of her disabled child。 Working to identify motives, timelines, and suspects, our detectives learn that there are multiple hidden layers within this family dynamic。 Imminent changes threaten to wreck a tenuous hold on the family’s best attempts at a normal life。Although I thoroughly enjoyed this Hidden Norfolk mystery, I’m really hoping our detectives will soon get a clue about their own lives。 Settling for less is never satisfying。Why weren’t Tamara’s spidey-senses tingling overtime with the creepy psychology professor serving as a profiler – yeah, the one without any forensic experience? And as independent as Tamara is, why does she let her parents run roughshod over her life?Why are Tom and Alice still together? There is no passion between these two… they’re more roommates than lovers, with Saffy as their only common thread。 How about letting sparks fly between Tom and Tamara?Will Eric and Becca survive marriage and parenthood? They’re still on a slippery slope and in need of a lifeline。All in all, this murder mystery is solid, the investigation is gripping, and the story unveils one surprise after another。 Definitely recommend for a riveting read。 。。。more
Melinda,
I have read everything written by Dalgliesh and this might be my favorite。 The descriptive writing is excellent and the characters are so engaging。 Even the one or two you have a hard time liking。 Little glimpses into the main characters private lives adds those touches that truly bring them to life。 I have never been to Norfolk but through the beautiful writing I can clearly picture it。 This storyline will pull at your heartstrings and keep you guessing until the end。 Highly recommend。
June,
I always enjoy reading Jason's books and although this is slightly different I feel its one of his best。I certainly couldn't put it down, and if the house had fallen down around me, I don't think I would have noticed。 The unique way of putting the Storyline together, descriptive of the characters and places the book is situated are truly brought to life。Eric seems to be taking a more active role in this one, although I do feel there is more to come for this character。 Although eventually I did h I always enjoy reading Jason's books and although this is slightly different I feel its one of his best。I certainly couldn't put it down, and if the house had fallen down around me, I don't think I would have noticed。 The unique way of putting the Storyline together, descriptive of the characters and places the book is situated are truly brought to life。Eric seems to be taking a more active role in this one, although I do feel there is more to come for this character。 Although eventually I did have my suspicions in the end there was still a twist to it。This certainly has plenty of twists and turns with also a number of red herrings thrown in and certainly revelations。 Altogether another thoroughly enjoyable read and I would definitely recommend this book, it certainly deserves its five stars。Although I had this on pre order as usual, I would like to thank the Author for my advanced copy。This is my honest unbiased review。 。。。more
