DETECTIVE SIV DRUMMOND IS ON THE CASE IN THIS GRIPPING NEW NOVEL.

Murder in Mallow Cottage  cover

Synopsis:

Someone’s out for revenge.
The colder the better.

Eugene Warren is found at the local crematorium. But he shouldn’t be there. Nobody knew he was dead.

Detective Siv Drummond and her team are on the case. But the only person the victim seemed to be friends with is missing.

Now the search is on to track down Henry Kilgore. But what they find is Eugene’s car and a cryptic message:    Remember fun at Mallow Cottage.

What lethal secret lies hidden between the lines? Can Siv piece it all together before the killer strikes again?



MEET THE DETECTIVE
Detective Inspector Siv Drummond is widowed following a tragic accident involving her husband. With everything in London reminding her of the past, she moves from a high-profile squad with the Met to a new job as DI in her old hometown — sleepy, seaside Berminster. She’s still grieving and lonely, but she’s a fighter and she’s smart, which earns her the respect of her colleagues DS Ali Carlin and DC Patrick Hill, and the grudging approval of her DCI, who wants his protégé to get her job.

DETECTIVE INSPECTOR SIV DRUMMOND SERIES:
Book 1: THESE LITTLE LIES
Book 2: NEVER CAME HOME
Book 3: MURDER IN MALLOW COTTAGE


Review:

This is an interesting series- Sid is an older character (!!) and one we can all relate to- she is good at her job, but still grieving and trying to find her way in a world that isn't as familiar as it once was. Add to that some changes with her team, and she's fighting to get back in the proverbial groove and make sure her team stays with her. This is an interesting mystery with lots of little twists to make you think their may be more than one suspect, and question what is REALLY going on!  For those of you who enjoyed the PBS series Unforgiven, this will be a series to sink your teeth into!
