Rachel Lynch

75 books449 followers
Rachel Lynch grew up in Cumbria and the lakes and fells are never far away from her. London pulled her away to teach History and marry an Army Officer, whom she followed around the globe for thirteen years.

A change of career after children led to personal training and sports therapy, but writing was always the overwhelming force driving the future. The human capacity for compassion as well as its descent into the brutal and murky world of crime are fundamental to her work.

Top notch!

Had to be the best of the series to date. The murder of a wealthy woman out jogging followed by another murder of a young girl on a notorious estate starts a ball rolling.
Kelly has to find out what is going on but has her boss interfering in the case and uncertainty about loyalties from one of her team.
Around all of this is Kelly really getting to know her "Dad" and step sisters. All in all a taut fast moving story which was brilliantly put together.
