4 Stars from me
This was my first introduction to DI Ruth Hunter and I found her to be an easy to engage with lead character.
Having recently holidayed in Wales it was easy for me to conjure up images of the area and found this added to the atmosphere of the book.
I feel the need to go back and read book one to find out more about Hunter’s need to re-integrate with the police and her team – there’s clearly a great back story here.
Her partner Nick is an interesting character, classic alcoholism and a dangerous vendetta – what’s not to love?
All in all a good read with the promise of more to come in the next book it the series!
My thanks to Simon McCleave and Damp Pebbles for letting me take part in this blog tour.
