Synopsis:

The first installment of the Campbell and Carter mysteries...

When the body of a young woman is discovered in the cowshed of Cricket farm, the tranquility of the British countryside is shattered. Inspector Jess Campbell is on the case, but with few leads, a grumbling partner, and the new Superintendent Ian Carter piling on the pressure, she’s beginning to wonder why she chose to be a detective in the first place

The shifty land-owner Eli Smith seems to have something to hide, and as Campbell delves into the gruesome past of the dilapidated farm, the mystery deepens. A flashy Mercedes spotted fleeing the scene of the crime leads to a suspect, but when another body turns up, it looks as though Campbell’s lead is nothing but a dead end…

Review:

This is a new series, and one that I'm happy to keep reading! Jess is a characters women will be able to relate to, as she trie to solve a case with too many riddles, while trying to figure out the riddle of her new boss! It's a fun British police procedural, with a couple of red herrings to keep you from guessing the true murderer too soon! And in a couple of ghosts and characters you'd love to see again, and you've got a keep of a series!
