This is book 10 with Beth Papadakis. I have enjoyed the Beth Papdakis books that I have read so far. The character is very likable. She has a son Jamie and her mum who helps out. She just wants to do the right thing and expose the real truth. Trouble just follows her everywhere. She is in Cornwall with a friend Elias, visiting Dev, who is recovering from a previous incident. He is not doing well. She is supposed to move to Cornwall with her son and marry Dev. She hears a scream and finds a girl on the beach near the house. Her throat is slit, and she is wearing just a slip. There are signs of trauma. Beth, as we already know, is a reporter on crime now. Elias is as well, but not from the same place. Beth feels the urge to find out what happened, even though everyone is telling her to go back to London. Beth pursues the story to expose human trafficking and find out what secrets Cornwall has. I received an ARC copy from the author an this is my honest review.
Beth is visiting Dev in Cornwall when she hears a scream. She finds a body on the beach right below the house. Knowing Beth, she will not be able to let this go, but the surprise is how far and wide it leads. I like the way the storyline for Beth and Dev is coming together and look forward to the next installment. This story was my favorite yet, lots of twists and turns as well as lies and deceit. This one keeps you guessing.
While Beth is checking on her friend Dev's recovery from a devasting injury, she discovers a dead young woman on the beach in front of Dev's home. This is the beginning of a page turning investigation into things that are hidden in plain sight. I couldn't put the book down.
Excellent read, I have read all in this series, love the story lines, love the links with Greece. I can never put Cara’s books down, they draw me in from the first page. Great read. I hope this is not the last in this series.
Love this series, and this follows on perfectly. I just with there was a quick synopsis of previous. Ok as gentle reminder as it was a while ago I read previous one. Can’t wait for next one!!
