TWO BRUTAL SLAYINGS AT A BARN DANCE.
Synopsis:
Detective Ava Merry has a knack for spotting trouble, even when she's off the clock.
She goes to a forties-themed dance at Northfields Farm on Valentine’s Day and discovers a young couple, Nick and Samantha, murdered.
Nick is found dead in a vintage ambulance. Sam is found stabbed multiple times in the glamping tent where they were staying. A man collides with Merry as he flees the scene.
Who is he and is he really innocent?
DI Jim Neal joins the investigation. But everywhere Merry and Neal turn, they are confronted by lies. Then another frenzied murder ups the stakes still further.
CAN MERRY AND NEAL EXPOSE THE KILLER WHEN NO ONE IS WHO THEY SEEM?

Review:
This is book 6 in the series, and a very welcome addtion! I raced through this book, as it's such a fast paced mystery. Jim and Ava make a very good team, each using their unique abilities, to help bring the case to a close. part vollage mystery, part police procedural, this is a book that will keep your attention, and have you reading all the books in the series, when you finish it!
About the Author
My novels are set in the fictitious East Midlands cathedral city of Stromford. I am originally from West Lothian in Scotland but moved to London in my early twenties. I lived and worked in the East End for ten years before moving to Lincolnshire where I currently live with my husband and two grown-up sons. When not reading or writing, I enjoy walking in the hills absorbing the scenery.
