This was a police procedural set in Norfolk, featuring a sergeant called Ashley and her new fast-track DC Hector. They investigate the gruesome murders of a series of people on the beach, and these turn out to be linked to an event in the past. I found Ashley a bit hard to like. She started off being quite mean to poor Hector because of his relatively wealthy background and patronizing him. Then half way through the book Ashley and most of her colleagues go to the pub, get drunk and share incredibly intimate things with one another, which Ashley and Hector go on to discuss later in a way which seemed entirely inappropriate to me. The actual mystery was depressing and involved a variety of people with addictions and mental health problems, some of whom were homeless. The death count was high and the ending left rather a nasty taste in my mouth. I don't think I will be continuing with this series. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

The first in a new series from bestselling author, Ross Greenwood! A brutal double murder on a Norfolk beach horrifies the town of Cromer. The way the victims died is chilling and so Norfolk's Major Investigation Team task DS Ashley Knight to manage the case. It soon becomes clear that the murders were carefully planned and the finger of suspicion points to an organised crime gang, but as the evidence mounts, a far more sinister theory emerges. Ashley has been allocated a young but opinionated partner in Hector Fade, and sparks soon fly. Annoyingly for Ashley, Hector is no pushover and looks destined for great things. When the pair delve into the case, they struggle to understand who would inflict such suffering on their victims and hope the crime is a one off from a deranged and dangerous individual. But then another body is found. There's a killer on the loose who must be caught, or other victims will meet their fate by the sea. Bestselling Ross Greenwood is back with the start of an exciting new series, perfect for fans of Mark Billingham, Ian Rankin and Peter James. Praise for Ross Greenwood: 'Move over Rebus and Morse; a new entry has joined the list of great crime investigators in the form of Detective Inspector John Barton. A rich cast of characters and an explosive plot kept me turning the pages until the final dramatic twist.' author Richard Burke 'Master of the psychological thriller genre Ross Greenwood once again proves his talent for creating engrossing and gritty novels that draw you right in and won't let go until you've reached the shocking ending.'

I have to admit that part of the pleasure of reading these books is that I can identify with the locale but, they are sufficiently well written to be enjoyed as murder mysteries. There are plenty of clues but I didn't beat our intrepid detectives to the solution. I shall certainly keep an eye for the final book of the series. ( )
