Book 15 in the Detective Mike Nash series， but even though I haven’t read any of the previous ones I was hooked from page 1！A veteran， now homeless， goes back to where he was happy， only to stumble upon a body （now skeleton） in an old， falling down， cottage。 Mike Nash and his team investigates， and untangle quite the web of family history， hate， love， …。 I just love the step by step， the logic， and the threads woven through out and all coming together！

I understand that I will likely be in the minority when it comes to this one， but as a reviewer， I also know that this happens to everyone now and then。 First off， the writing style is just not for me。 I get that that is most certainly a problem with myself as a reader， but I know I'm probably not the only one who becomes annoyed when you're following along in a case， and the author says things like， "It would be another twenty-four hours before they learned the reason" or "It was not long befor I understand that I will likely be in the minority when it comes to this one， but as a reviewer， I also know that this happens to everyone now and then。 First off， the writing style is just not for me。 I get that that is most certainly a problem with myself as a reader， but I know I'm probably not the only one who becomes annoyed when you're following along in a case， and the author says things like， "It would be another twenty-four hours before they learned the reason" or "It was not long before this proved to be one of the worst examples of inciting Sod's Law。" For me， it doesn't make the book more exciting， it simply makes me roll my eyes and wish they would just get on with it instead of dragging things out even longer。 The second issue I had （this one to a lesser extent） was how everyone and their uncle did not want to help the police with their murder investigation。 Perhaps， laws in the UK are different， but I've read other novels set there where people in a position to help weren't so uptight as the ones here。 Which led me to wonder why couldn't the police simply obtain a warrant to gain access to the information they needed？ Of course， there was one scene where a bank manager straight up said he wouldn't reveal information without a warrant， but that he had never heard of one being granted makes me wonder just how hard it is over there for the police to obtain one when solving a murder investigation。 Finally， and this was probably my biggest pet peeve about this novel， was Mike Nash himself。 It wasn't the fact that he was forever having "hunches" at or about the crime scene leading him to find clues that other people were unable to。 It wasn't the ungodly amount of coffee that he drinks。 Seriously， if I read， "this will take awhile， let's have coffee，" or some variation of that sentence one more time， I might have screamed。 I also found it very convenient that all of these officers seemed to be able to stop whatever they were doing and eat， even going so far as to do so at an active crime scene。 Heck， it wasn't even the fact that when his wife witnessed an accident （and could have been hit）， Nash went out of his way to keep her from speaking to the officer in charge of investigating said accident。 No instead， he bundled her off home， claiming she was in shock and told his boss the next day that his wife was "out of bounds" to the officer wanting to interview her to find out what happened in regards to the accident she witnessed。 What kind of cop impedes the investigation of another officer？ But no， my biggest issue with so-called Detective Nash was that fact that throughout the book， he designates all of his subordinates to go out and conduct interviews or gather clues （while seemingly doing nothing himself）; except the one time that he seems to have a breakthrough while at home。 In this one instance， why didn't he call the station and get someone on it straight away？ No， instead， he sat on it until the next day so he could ensure that his wife was okay when it was obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes that she was fine and didn't need him hovering around her。 The premise of this novel was actually a good one。 And I was surprised at how things played out and who the killers actually were。 I didn't even mind how slow it was because I assume that actual police work is a lot more tedious than usually portrayed， and I felt this book did a good job at showing that， even if it did make for slow reading at times。 However， I doubt I would read more from this series with all the issues mentioned above。 DISCLAIMER: I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the publisher。 This has not affected my review in any way。 All thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are 100% my own。 。。。more

Excellent！Another spectacular murder mystery！ This is definitely outstanding！ It begins with a former soldier， with PTSD， visiting a cottage where he spent lovely summers as a child 。 House is derelict and boarded up， but he finds a skeleton chained to a table！ Thus begins a bizarre tale of family resentment， anger， greed， embezzling， and murder------ 6 murders before Nash and team solve this messy generational vendetta！

I received a complimentary electronic ARC of this excellent novel from Netgalley， Bill Kitson， and an invitation from publisher Joffe Books。 Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me。 I have read Skeletons in the Closet of my own volition， and this review reflects my honest opinion of this work。 I always enjoy another DI Mike Nash tale and am pleased to recommend Bill Kitson's work to friends and family。 Just when you think you have figured out the plot， it expands into something else。Det I received a complimentary electronic ARC of this excellent novel from Netgalley， Bill Kitson， and an invitation from publisher Joffe Books。 Thank you all for sharing your hard work with me。 I have read Skeletons in the Closet of my own volition， and this review reflects my honest opinion of this work。 I always enjoy another DI Mike Nash tale and am pleased to recommend Bill Kitson's work to friends and family。 Just when you think you have figured out the plot， it expands into something else。Detective Mike Nash is a series， and this is number 15， but they are all complete stories in and of themselves。 If you read more than one， the characters become friends because you know them in all their humors。 "Skeletons in the Closet" is no exception。 Mike is often stingy with his ideas of plot and counter-plot with his crew as well as you， so you at least have company in the dark。 And this is a pretty dark tale。 I sure did enjoy it。 Reviewed on October 10， 2022， at Goodreads and Netgalley on October 10， 2022。 Reviewed on October 12， 2022， at AmazonSmile。 Not available for review on B&N， or Kobo。 。。。more

I would like to thank Netgalley and Joffe Books for an advance copy of Skeletons in the Closet， the fifteenth novel to feature DI Mike Nash of Yorkshire Police。A chance discovery of a skeleton tied to a chair in a derelict cottage gives Mike and his team a new case。 When a second body is found in a well on the property they start to wonder what they are dealing with and they know they are dealing with a sadistic killer when more gruesome things are uncovered。 Then the solicitor dealing with the I would like to thank Netgalley and Joffe Books for an advance copy of Skeletons in the Closet， the fifteenth novel to feature DI Mike Nash of Yorkshire Police。A chance discovery of a skeleton tied to a chair in a derelict cottage gives Mike and his team a new case。 When a second body is found in a well on the property they start to wonder what they are dealing with and they know they are dealing with a sadistic killer when more gruesome things are uncovered。 Then the solicitor dealing with the property dies and they are facing one of the most difficult cases of their careers。I thoroughly enjoyed Skeletons in the Closet， which is a mystifying read with a dash of humour。 It is told entirely from Nash’s point of view so the reader can follow the investigation closely。 I won’t say my usual the reader knows what he knows， because Mike Nash has a tendency to keep his thoughts to himself， only fully revealing what he knows or conjectures at dramatically important times。 If， like me， you want to know everything it can be a bit annoying， but this is counterbalanced by the effect the reveals have when they come。This is an interesting investigation。 For much of it the victims are unidentified， so Nash and his team are reliant on putting together odd snippets of information and gossip and even the death of the obstructive lawyer doesn’t take them much further。 I admit that I didn’t quite follow all the detail of the solution - it made my brain hurt， but I got the gist and it’s good with some nice touches and a feel good factor。I have been reading this series for a long time， but it’s always good to spend time with Nash and the team， even if his jokes are awful。 They work well together and it makes a pleasant change from the frequent strife in other novels。Skeletons in the Closet is a good read that I can recommend。 。。。more
