The Drowning Place | S. W. Kane
1 post | 1 read
Murder on an abandoned housing development--and a web of dark secrets stretching back decades... Looking for clues about her sister's death amid the crumbling decay of a derelict and near-deserted London neighbourhood, urban explorer Connie Darke makes a terrifying discovery: William Stark, the estate's architect and long-time resident, is hanging from the church's vaulted ceiling. For DI Lew Kirby, there's no doubt that Stark was lured to his death--but who wanted him dead, and why? As Connie begins a covert investigation, desperate to find a connection to her sister, Kirby soon discovers that the remaining residents have something to hide. Could there be a connection between Stark's death and the unsolved case of Kevin Shires, a boy who went missing from the estate decades ago? And with Kirby and Connie both digging into the long-buried history of the estate's darkest corners, what other secrets will be unearthed from the ruins of Grasmere?

Mehso-so

This was a slow mystery novel. The pacing was excruciatingly slow, the plot convoluted, and the women…well, the writer can write an atmospheric tale but my interest waned as it felt like every death in England since 1992 was being tied into the story and the villains felt a bit one note. I really enjoyed the first book in this series.
