This was great。 I am looking forward to how this new character is developed in future books。 It’s going to be different to read something other than a CI and read about a PI。

I became a fan of Sally’s work after I was invited to take part on the blog tour for one of her books in the bestselling series featuring Cavendish and Walker。 I was blown away by how fantastic the story was。 Since then I have been catching up with the rest of the series when I have a spare minute。 ‘Web Of Lies’ is actually the first book in a new series featuring Detective Sebastian Clifford and what a corker of a read it is too。 I absolutely loved ‘Web Of Lies’ but more about that in a bit。I l I became a fan of Sally’s work after I was invited to take part on the blog tour for one of her books in the bestselling series featuring Cavendish and Walker。 I was blown away by how fantastic the story was。 Since then I have been catching up with the rest of the series when I have a spare minute。 ‘Web Of Lies’ is actually the first book in a new series featuring Detective Sebastian Clifford and what a corker of a read it is too。 I absolutely loved ‘Web Of Lies’ but more about that in a bit。I liked the character of Detective Sebastian Clifford and I warmed to him from the start。 Sebastian was a detective in the Metropolitan Police but following a bit of a scandal his team was disbanded and Sebastian left the police force。 Sebastian wasn’t at fault。 Sebastian’s family is rather well off although they aren’t too happy at the fact that he became a police officer。 Sebastian is inquisitive， determined， kind and compassionate。 It took me no time at all to get into ‘Web Of Lies’。 The fact that ‘Sally Rigby’ was on the cover of a new book was enough to grab my attention and the story within the book’s covers just sealed the deal as it were。 As soon as I started to read the story， I knew that I wouldn’t be able to put the book down for any length of time。 My Kindle wasn’t exactly glued to my hand but it might as well have been because it travelled everywhere with me。 I couldn’t bear to miss a single second of the story。 Initially I had only picked up the book intending to read a couple of chapters but I became so wrapped up in the story that I was still sat there reading over two hours later。 For me， ‘Web Of Lies’ is an unputdownable gripping page turner of a read， which kept me guessing and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout。‘Web Of Lies’ is superbly written but then that all of Sally’s books are superb。 Sally has one of those writing styles which grabs your attention and draws you into what proves to be a compelling read。 I loved the way in which Sally makes the reader feel part of the story themselves and at the centre of the action。 Reading ‘Web Of Lies’ was a bit like being on a bit of a scary and unpredictable rollercoaster ride with several twists and turns along the way。 I look forward to reading many more of Sally’s work in the future。In short， I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘Web Of Lies’ and I would recommend it to other readers。 I will certainly be reading more of Sally’s work in the future。 The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*。 。。。more

Don’t you just love it when you find an author who delivers great books so consistently that you don’t have to think twice about picking up their new book and delving right in！ Sally Rigby does that for me - I have enjoyed her other detective duo series “Cavendish and Walker” immensely， so I was excited to get to know Sebastian and Birdie - the new duo in her latest crime thriller。Web of Lies does not disappoint - the plot with its twists and turns and the brilliant depth of the characters which Don’t you just love it when you find an author who delivers great books so consistently that you don’t have to think twice about picking up their new book and delving right in！ Sally Rigby does that for me - I have enjoyed her other detective duo series “Cavendish and Walker” immensely， so I was excited to get to know Sebastian and Birdie - the new duo in her latest crime thriller。Web of Lies does not disappoint - the plot with its twists and turns and the brilliant depth of the characters which makes you feel like you’ve known them forever。 This story progresses at a good pace and keeps you turning the pages。 It’s another triumph by Sally Rigby and I would highly recommend lovers of crime/detective novels add this book （and others by this author） to their wish lists。 I can’t wait for the next one to be released - I rated this 5⭐️。 。。。more

When Sally Rigby announced that she was writing a new crime series I must admit to being a bit sceptical ~ I mean I love the Cavendish and Walker series， so how was she going to top that？I really needn't have worried because this promises to be another outstanding series。 We're first introduced to Seb Clifford in Kill Shot！， and he's certainly a larger than life character， in personality as well as stature。Seb travels to Market Harborough for the funeral of his cousin's husband， being nominated When Sally Rigby announced that she was writing a new crime series I must admit to being a bit sceptical ~ I mean I love the Cavendish and Walker series， so how was she going to top that？I really needn't have worried because this promises to be another outstanding series。 We're first introduced to Seb Clifford in Kill Shot！， and he's certainly a larger than life character， in personality as well as stature。Seb travels to Market Harborough for the funeral of his cousin's husband， being nominated to attend on behalf of his family because of the controversy surrounding his financial dealings， which meant that his investors lost everything to his Ponzi scheme。 Sarah asks Seb to investigate the death as she is not convinced it is a suicide， as determined by the police and coroner。 Is Sarah clutching at straws or is there some truth behind her suspicions？Having left the Met， Seb has time on his hands and wants to support Sarah， even though he's not initially convinced that she's right。 Seb teams up with an officer from the Market Harborough， DC Bird， who's been side-lined to desk duty by her sergeant。 Birdie and Seb make a great team， and together begin to unravel the web of lies surrounding the death。Enthralling， entertaining and addictive。 Can't wait for the next instalment ~ just so long as Whitney and George aren't put out to grass！！I'm reviewing this book， after receiving a copy as an ARC from the author 。。。more

Even though I enjoyed the Whitney and George detective novels， this new one about former police officer Sebastian Clifford is undoubtedly my favourite。 Seb is the son of a Viscount， handsome （obviously） and 6ft 6inches tall。 The banter between him and PC Lucinda Bird known as Birdie is hilarious。 And of course we mustn’t forget Seb’s beloved dog Elsa。Having quit the police after his squad was disbanded， he goes to stay in Market Harborough for a rest， but his cousin Sarah asks him to help invest Even though I enjoyed the Whitney and George detective novels， this new one about former police officer Sebastian Clifford is undoubtedly my favourite。 Seb is the son of a Viscount， handsome （obviously） and 6ft 6inches tall。 The banter between him and PC Lucinda Bird known as Birdie is hilarious。 And of course we mustn’t forget Seb’s beloved dog Elsa。Having quit the police after his squad was disbanded， he goes to stay in Market Harborough for a rest， but his cousin Sarah asks him to help investigate the ‘suicide’ of her husband。 He was involved in some very shady financial deals， ending up in a highly illegal Ponzi scheme。 Sarah believes he was murdered， but the evidence doesn’t support that idea。For anyone who doesn’t know what a Ponzi scheme is， it’s basically a fraudulent investing scam which generates returns for earlier investors with money taken from later investors。 Famously Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme， which likely ran for decades， defrauded thousands of investors out of tens of billions of dollars。 Investors put their trust in Madoff because he created a front of respectability， his returns were high but not outlandish， and he claimed to use a legitimate strategy。In 1992， my husband and I were the victims of a Ponzi scheme， so the subject of Web of Lies immediately peaked my interest。 I still blame myself for being so easily taken in – if something is too good to be true it probably is。 The perpetrator went to prison， but as in this story， the money is gone。 The victims get nothing apart from a feeling that they had been somewhat naive。But enough about me。 I love Seb – he reminds me of Inspector Lynley （love Nathaniel Parker – where is he now？）， but I much prefer Birdie to Barbara Havers。 Birdie doesn’t have that chip-on-the-shoulder attitude that Havers did。 She treats Seb with humour and takes no prisoners。 She tells him to wait outside her mum’s house when he picks her up so the neighbours don’t think she’s going out with an ‘old man’ – she’s 26 and he’s 39！ I’d want to show him off。 Who wouldn’t？As always with Sally Rigby’s books， it’s a fast-paced， easy read， with plenty of intrigue， twists and excitement。 Please make this a TV series。 It would be so good if they can find someone tall enough…Many thanks to @damppebbles for inviting me to be part of #damppebblesblogtours 。。。more

I have enjoyed Sally Rigby’s Cavendish and Walker series so when I heard she had a new series featuring Sebastian Clifford， who made a short appearance in the previous series， I was excited。 I try to not expect too much from a writer especially when they are working things out with a new series and a new character。 I need not have worried in this case though because Web Of Lies is simply fantastic！ It is excellent and I can say without any doubt it is my favourite of her brilliant books。 The cha I have enjoyed Sally Rigby’s Cavendish and Walker series so when I heard she had a new series featuring Sebastian Clifford， who made a short appearance in the previous series， I was excited。 I try to not expect too much from a writer especially when they are working things out with a new series and a new character。 I need not have worried in this case though because Web Of Lies is simply fantastic！ It is excellent and I can say without any doubt it is my favourite of her brilliant books。 The character feels very alive and his interactions with ‘Birdie’， a local police detective， are fabulous and add an entertaining layer to the story。 Clifford investigates the apparent suicide of his cousins husband。 Sally Rigby masterfully weaves the tale through many different paths until the finale， which I naturally had not worked out at all。 Great work from an author that deserves even greater success that she’s already had。 。。。more

The first book of a new series by Sally Rigby， and I can't fault it！ We met Sebastian in Sally's last book in the Cavendish & Walker series， and wasn't sure about him to start with， but he really grew on me！ A great way of getting to know him， ready for 'Web of Lies'！ There is a great 'working together' relationship with the new 'Birdie' a young lady from the Police force who eventually helps Sebastian solve a suicide/murder！Birdie， what a character she is， she brings in laughs， definitely infur The first book of a new series by Sally Rigby， and I can't fault it！ We met Sebastian in Sally's last book in the Cavendish & Walker series， and wasn't sure about him to start with， but he really grew on me！ A great way of getting to know him， ready for 'Web of Lies'！ There is a great 'working together' relationship with the new 'Birdie' a young lady from the Police force who eventually helps Sebastian solve a suicide/murder！Birdie， what a character she is， she brings in laughs， definitely infuriating， especially with her bosses， but particularly Sebastian！This is going to be yet another brilliant series （hopefully will be a series） by Sally Rigby！I couldn't put it down， loved every word of it， and cannot wait for the next one！！！！ Brilliant read！！！！ 。。。more
