Classic Literature. Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. 'This is a cracking page turner with twists galore. When I wasn't reading it I was thinking of this book trying to work out what was going on.' NetGalley Reviewer, ????? Fans of Vera, Val McDermid and Elly Griffiths will love Last Seen Alive! When Anna Matheson fails to collect her son from the babysitter after a works party, the police are swiftly called. Anna is a stickler for time and a good mother – she would never abandon her baby. Her disappearance is totally out of character and DI Isabel Blood and her team soon suspect foul play. CCTV footage shows Anna was last seen at precisely 11.11pm, as she collected her coat to leave the party. But the cameras outside the venue have failed to pick up her exit from the car park – how could she have vanished in plain sight? Rumour has it that Anna was set to make big changes in the workplace, and Isabel can't help but think someone wanted her out of the way. Everyone at the party is a suspect, and all the clues point to murder... Readers LOVE Last Seen Alive! 'Just superb. Well written and so easy to read. Characters were well drawn and I just can't tell you how good the end was. Brilliant!' NetGalley Reviewer, ????? 'Jane does it again with another gripping read. I read this one in 24 hours and had me engrossed from page 1.' NetGalley Reviewer, ????? 'Great story, thought I had it all worked out, turned out I hadn't. Thoroughly enjoyed it, once I got into it, did not see that ending coming.' NetGalley Reviewer, ????? 'A cracking read with great characters.' NetGalley Reviewer, ????? 'This book was very good. Great storyline so many twists in each chapter. I didn't see the conclusion coming at all. Was so well written. Would recommend this book to others.' NetGalley Reviewer, ?????

For contemporary novels, the elephant in the room is how to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and resultant lockdowns. Jane Bettany chose to acknowledge the event, but it's not an integral part of the story; it does help transition the story arc from the previous book where Isabel Blood re-unites with her long-lost father. DI Blood is a unique figure in police procedurals, a happily married, middle-aged woman with children, but she is as sharp a copper as they come. Fighting the battle common to many as they climb the ranks, Isabel is being told to step back and manage her team when she enjoys the daily grind of investigating. I enjoy this series, and this latest was full of enough twists and turns to keep me hooked until the last page (which came all too suddenly in my view).

Thanks to HQ Digital for access to a digital ARC via NetGalley.

Detective Isobel Blood's team is a group of believable detectives...no superheroes...no "Kojak Wanna-Be's"...just hard-working people doing a sometimes thankless job. Isabel herself is smart and capable, and fair, but also has issues in her personal life to deal with, like her adult son, Bailey. This is an intriguing, well-written, well-plotted story that is rich with secrets, and surprises. Overall an enjoyable read. If you are a fan of Ann Cleave's Vera series or her Shetland Island series, which I am...you will more than likely like Isabelle and her team. ( )

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley.

This opened really strongly with Lauren wondering why her friend Anna hasn't come to pick up the son she has been baby-sitting for her. It was a solid police procedural, with a good balance of focus on the case and the personal lives of the police officers. I haven't read the first two instalments in this series, but it read like a stand alone book. There was a point in which the focus on DNA evidence got a bit confusing, but I thought the solution was satisfactory and despite the odd loose end (who was Anna on the phone to when Fenella entered her office?) I would recommend this novel and would read others by this author. ( )
