She read

This is the fourth in the #Norfolkmurders series. Although I did read the prior one in the sequence, this can be read as a stand alone.The author kindly provides a directory of the cast of police characters at the beginning of the novel.

 Ashley Knight has been promoted from DI to DS! She and her team become involved in an international crime syndicate when two young local women are missing. Soon they learn of other missing persons and dead bodies start showing up. 

For those with trigger warnings: the storyline includes human trafficking, abduction of young women, and some gruesome attacks. A solid police procedural, I like this investigative team with their close personal relationships and sarcastic humor. The criminals in this installment are quite malevolent, while the writing pulls you in in this engrossing, can’t put down read. There are twists and turns…one you probably won’t see coming! Atmospheric, the descriptions of the Norfolk surroundings are vivid and evocative.  

If you enjoy police procedurals featuring capable female detectives, I encourage you to check out this book. This author/series has been added to my “must read” list. 

Thanks to #NetGalley and #BoldwoodBooks for the DRC.
