A great trio of detective books in this box set.

All three books are really good. You cannot imagine how much criminality there could be in a small North of England town like Darlington.
Tanzy, Byrd and their team are a great tight knit unit and each book has its own amount of twists, turns and violence, especially book 3, good luck on trying to figure that one out until the last few chapters.
Now on to the next book in the series, The Little Girl in Wardrobe

Great Intrigue!

Excellent character development and personal sidebars. The individuals were fleshed out in such a way as to add a very human aspect to the plot. There were multiple surprises that added to the suspense. Enjoyable read!
