An ostentatious party descends into violence—and a disgraced cop sets out to redeem herself by solving the case . . .
Susan Grey’s fiftieth birthday party promised to be a talked-about event—an over-the-top extravagant gathering of a hundred guests at her sprawling Georgian home. But it would be talked about for all the wrong reasons . . .
From an escalated argument to the disappearance of an expensive piece of jewelry, the party was quickly spiraling out of control. But the worst was yet to come, when Susan suffered a horrific fall down the grand staircase. Was it an accident or was she pushed?
For DI Grace Roth, relegated to desk duty due to an internal investigation, this could be a high-profile case and a chance to redeem herself. But every lead seems to send her in circles. As the badly injured Susan lies in her hospital bed, DI Roth must try to gather the scattered pieces of the puzzle and make them fit—before anyone else gets hurt . . .
I really enjoyed this book, I liked the fact that Grace was determined to prove herself which you knew from the start but it wasn’t clear at first as to why. The case she was given wasn’t clear if it was a case or not.
The circumstances regarding Susan’s fall were intriguing and whilst there were definitely people who could be suspects if she was pushed, but was that the case? Susan’s family were not the happiest of ones and there was inter-family arguments left, right and centre!
There were twists and turns that I didn’t see coming along the way! It was pacy and kept me turning the pages quickly! I do hope that we see more from Grace in another book as I think she’s a great character and there’s more to be explored with her.
