Spotted that I had missed the final book in this series that I used to love and downloaded for my hols. Whilst Carson was as smart as ever this is missing a number of the things that made me enjoy the original books so much. Here 2 nursery catapult Ryder from Florida and away from restarting his partnership and across the country where lots of things happen to people it was hard to care about. I give it a so so maybe out of nostalgia #serieslove

This is a very enjoyable series set in Kent and the dungeness coast. DI Alex Culpidi is on sick leave after the events of the last few books but becomes curious about the murder of a couple in a local house. As she is dragged into the investigation, she quickly becomes at risk herself as it also involves historic events covered up by her close friend.

The sixth case for Det Sergeant Washington Poe & analyst Tilly Bradshaw sees them investigate the murder of a man found tied to a tree & stoned to death. How does his death tie into the murder of 3 members of the same family 15 years earlier?

The case is already in the past in this book & the reader hears about it through Poe relating the story to a therapist. Yes, this case was so dark it gave Poe PTSD, (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf yet according to the note at the end from the author it was originally meant to be even darker...

It started off quite slow for me & it took about 25% of the book to really get going but once it did, it was another gripping read. I did find Poe a bit annoying at the beginning of this book with his attitude to new character Linus, it all felt a bit juvenile & I'm still not convinced by Poe's romantic relationship - absolutely no chemistry. 4🌟

OutsmartYourShelf TWs; there are some major triggers in this book so please check out the full review for details

Favourite Bradshaw quote from the book: “She [Flynn] says Poe is the end of a bell. Although she won't tell me what that means & she says I'm not allowed to google it.“ 😄😆😂

A gift. I picked this to read next as I needed a break from what I had been reading. Not a light read like I thought it would be. I love Poe and Tilly and this is only the 2nd in the series I have read. It is very dark and has more twists and turns than a mountain road. I only saw one coming and the end was for me ,a step too far, but I guess it was clever.🤷🏻‍♂️.

I‘ve been away travelling in our trailer and not doing much reading AT ALL but I still found time for buying a couple of new books.

(And attending the beautiful wedding of my much-loved niece/goddaughter ❤️).

Yesterday‘s book swap finds on the way home from work after doing a spot of grocery shopping. I got my lunch for today on special. I‘ve been doing a lot of check in testing with the kids which is great as it allows me to walk around the room supervising while going through all of my 6 dances for my upcoming showcase and ballet exam work in my head which helps me greatly to increase my confidence with the routines. 2 different swaps featured here.
