This book first drew me in because of the location, the tidbit of history we learn, and then the mystery and the determination of friends and family to solve it. I truly enjoyed it. ( )

My thanks to the Author publisher's and NetGalley for providing me with a Kindle version of this book to read and honestly review.
Well written atmospheric clever descriptive this is an intelligent engaging read. Told from several points of view and past and present so you gather what's happening from different perspectives and various versions of what happened. Complex emotional and at times poignant a tale of abuse in all it's forms and the after affects.
WARNING :- Slight Spoiler alert.
Having finished the book I was pleased to read the Author state there was a sequel, which I assumed would deal with the aftermath of this book, and maybe deal with how several excellent characters moved on. However when looking up on Amazon I was somewhat gobsmacked that this book was the second in the DCI Greg Geldard series, in my opinion by far the least interesting character in the book and who by my recollection had a smaller part than brilliant Brizo the dog.
Recommended. ( )
