New author for me but one I will certainly be looking forward to reading more in the future.Storyline was very different but very interesting as was the main character.Look forward to more of the same.
Really enjoyed this first book in what I hope will become an ongoing series. Likeable, interesting characters who I feel have much more to show and a great plot which kept me guessing throughout the story.
What a brilliant book this is, I'm pretty good at guessing who did it, but this time I had no idea and the one I did think was murdering these people I found I was miles off, it's a great storyline and lovely characters, an altogether nerve wracking but very enjoyable read.
