Death in Bacton Wood - Ross Greenwood
Pub. Date: May 3, 2024
She read
This is the next installment in the Norfolk Murders series and can be read as a standalone. The plot is labyrinthine… people buried alive, organized crime, drug use, immigrants, human trafficking, a possible “bent copper”, revenge….what do they all have to do with each other? And on a personal level will DS Ashley Knight realize that the fellow officer she is seeing is a poor choice for a romantic dalliance and will she cut him loose?
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 and their crimes abhorrent while the writing pulls you in in this engrossing, can’t put down read.
If you enoy police procedurals featuring capable female detectives, you can get in on this series from the beginning as this is only the third book. I have read two of them. While this story is grittier than the prior one I read, this author/series has been added to my “must read” list.
Thanks to #Netgalley and #BoldwoodBooks for the DRC.
