20 years after the murder of Stefan and Miranda Harkness, DCI Matilda Darke is tasked with re-opening the cold case. Following a nine month absence from work, she is a shadow of her former self, and must fight her inner demons to solve the case. She is up against her rival, Acting DCI Ben Hales, who will do anything possible to solve the case, including intimidation of fragile sole witness, Jonathan Harkness. By the time the case is solved, Matilda, Ben, and Jonathan's lives will have changed forever.

I started a new detective series. In this one the main character is DCI Matilda Darke and she‘s a great person, well worked out by Michael Wood. Also I enjoyed the plot a lot, even though I saw some of it coming. I am definitely going to read the second book!

TrishB Glad you enjoyed it- the series get better and better! 1mo
BarbaraBB @TrishB Looking forward to the next one! 1mo

I am in Sheffield with DCI Matilda Darke. It is the first book in a series and I am enjoying it so far so maybe I‘ll spend more time here in the future!

TrishB Glad you‘re enjoying so far! 1mo

It‘s 21 days into the new year and I‘ve already started 2 new detective series!
I really enjoyed this one and although I did have an inkling about the killer- I enjoyed the getting there. Will definitely continue with this series.

Starting The Seventh Victim by Michael Wood, which is an exclusive book available from Audible. Based on the theme of a serial killer.

It is not in the catalogue so have tagged it with the first book from Michael Wood‘s excellent Matilda Darke series.

A terrific first book in a new series for me. Matilda is a bit of a grieving mess, but she‘s got wonderful loved ones and a good team overall. And the mystery is *really* good. A cold case that comes to life. No I did not see the end coming. Highly recommended. And it was my #doublespin! @TheAromaofBooks

I loved the light on this pic I took the other night.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! And I like the light, too - it almost looks like you are underwater or something! 3y
MittenGirlPeach @TheAromaofBooks we have LED strip lights around the window, and I thought the green glow was underwater/otherworldly too! By the way, I‘ve started yet another Dalgliesh. Ha. P.D. can definitely write. The next two after this are set in the Fall, so I‘ll have a break before I read them! (edited) 3y
TheAromaofBooks I love your system of reading them seasonally! That's such a fun idea. 3y

Started a new series last night, and it immediately sucked me in. That feeling when you get in bed with a new book to read and you love it? So good.

It‘s my #BookSpin too!

Leaves and weather update: the snow is gone, some leaves are *still* hanging on, and Mark may have to wait until Spring to clear up the leaves in middle of the yard. The top and bottom are done, but the warm Fall put the process back. And now it‘s cold. 🤷🏻‍♀️

EvieBee I heart that feeling and it feels more amplified in the winter. Am I right?! 3y
MittenGirlPeach @EvieBee you are SO RIGHT! It‘s the best feeling. 3y

An interesting start of a new series for me. One twist I kind of figured out about halfway through but it didn‘t seem to keep me from wanting to finish. It was good! I‘ll definitely be continuing with the series. 😀🌟🌟🌟🌟 3.5 rounded up to 4! Thank you @robinb for gifting me this book! 💕
Book 4 finished for #joysofjune

robinb I‘m glad you enjoyed it. 😊😘 3y

I‘ve read an arc for another book in the series, and it was excellent! So, I asked the library to get the first book in the series. Pretty sure I‘m going to love it 🥰

Another series to look into! Sounds good!

Andrew65 There are so many out there. Where is the woman‘s red coat for the cover. 🧐🤓🤔 4y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 I know, it‘s a bit embarrassing, but maybe the printer was out of red? 😂😂😂 4y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 But how did these books suddenly pop up? Don‘t remember these ones when we chose the three authors for last year. I guess we need to choose three new for 2021. I just finished reading two excellent first on the series books, so there are many good ones out there! 4y

TrishB Sounds good! First one free with prime and second 99p! 4y
julesG @Andrew65 That was my first thought too. The red coat is missing. 😂😂😂 4y
Andrew65 @julesG Just not the same without the red coat! @Tove_Reads 4y

I thought the bookstore had two different versions of the same book.

Also, how perfect is the tagged book for this post!
