The Beast of Bodmin
Man or beast? Jo Green is a heroine of the Devon and Cornwall Police. Thanks to Jo, OCD-plagued chess-player Vladek Boniek is serving thirty years for murdering four women close to Bodmin Moor. Jo, a police constable at the time, caught him. She's now a detective. Her new career is accompanied by painful realisations about her personal life, which lead to the most serious emotional conflicts she's ever had to face. Meanwhile, on Bodmin Moor, six months after Boniek's conviction, new killings take place. Suspicions point to a phantom wild cat. But is a big cat really the culprit, or is a new Beast of Bodmin on the loose?

5 out of 5 stars!
The Beast of Bodmin was absolutely hair-raising!
Edmondson had me hooked from the very first page.
Thrillers are my jam!... but putting a spin on it like this, man or beast? What a ride! Knowing a murderer was on the loose was nerve wrecking enough. Not knowing if it was human or some hungry animal had you at the edge of your seat.
Not only is Mark's writing so easily devoured but the story and characters were executed perfectly. Your main character, Jo had already been through so much which only made her stronger, while also showing her vulnerable side. Although Jo is about to go through SO much more! This creates the perfect protagonist for the reader. Someone you can truly relate with and start to gain some type of emotions for, causing you to become a bit anxious to see if Jo survives in the end.
The characters that surrounded and supported Jo were also so lovely. This novel is truly character driven in the best way possible.
I found myself constantly trying to crack the case while reading, getting into the true mindset of a detective. At times I truly felt I had figured out exactly who or what was committing these murders. Just as I got to that point there was a large plot twist! This was the real gem of this story! ... The Beast of Bodmin never got boring!
This will be a favourite of mine for years to come.
Thank you so much Mark for sending me a copy.
Mark did not request that I review his book but of course I wanted to! So many great things to say.
Can't wait to see what Mark Edmondson comes up with next!

While I enjoyed the story and read this quite quickly, I couldn’t help but feel there was always too much information and repetition on each page. There was enough going on to keep a reader interested and it reminded me a little of Midsomer Murders.
