How can DI Clare Mackay uncover the facts if nothing is what it seems?
DI Clare Mackay is called to Albany High, where the body of a girl has been found. A suspected suicide – yet Sophie Bakewell was by all accounts a cheerful, talented student. Could she really have been hiding a darker side?
It’s not the only disturbing case to land on Clare’s desk. Across town, an elderly man is in danger. Yet before the police can determine the facts, everything changes and they are presented with two suspicious deaths to investigate.
As Clare and her team face the possibility that anything they believe to be true about the deaths is wrong, they might find that a killer can lurk behind the most innocent of faces…
I loved this book!! I do need to start with a confession - this is book number eight in the series and the first one that I have read! I will absolutely rectify that! I loved DI Clare, she is great and takes no nonsense and seems to really care about her cases and her colleagues too! And I loved the fact that she hates the DCI's piano playing!
The storyline had me gripped and athough the first case that she comes across isn't murder, it opens far more questions and is very intriguing. Our second main case also had me puzzled - this one a murder but who was responsible? It kept me guessing along the way and I kept flicking between suspects as I was so undecided.
There were some absolute curveballs thrown in along the way which were just brilliant to read and kept my brain in overdrive with motives for our suspects! I knew that there was more to it with Hazel than she was letting on. I loved the way it all comes together towards the end and thought it was very well done. There were scenes toward the end that had me laughing out loud too!
I liked the connections that appeared between the two storylines even though I did have the wrong person pegged! I thought the book was well paced and brilliantly written. I cannot wait to go back and read the others! You can grab a copy of this book here #Aff
