Thirlmere hides a deadly secret…
Drought hits the Lake District, uncovering a skeleton at the bottom of Thirlmere reservoir. The case quickly becomes personal for DI Kelly Porter when she discovers it’s the remains of an old classmate, missing for over twenty years.
Then a day later, another body is found in a caravan park, its head broken and bloody.
Kelly suspects these two crimes are linked. But if she’s right, that means there’s a ruthless killer somewhere in her community – someone who will do anything to keep the truth buried…
A brilliantly clever, ‘finish-in-one-night’ murder mystery starring the hugely popular DI Kelly Porter, set in the stunning mountains and valleys of the Lake District.
A must-read for fans of L. J. Ross, Carol Wyer and Angela Marsons.
Review:
This is book 11 in the series, and while I have only read a few in the series, it's well worth the effort to read all of them if you like strong female lead characters! It does pick up after the events of Sudden Death, but the author gives just enough of an idea what might have happened, without giving too much of the previous story away (so you'll want to go back and read it, LOL). What happens when the past you THOUGHT you know suddenly turns up as a dead body in your current investigation, and suddenly everyone you used to know is somehow involved in the case? For Kelley, it's both welcome and off putting at the same time. As she struggles with memories that are affecting the case at hand, and wondering if she need to walk away from it, she also is questioning her future, and life with her boyfriend. Porter is a character that is relatable and even if you think you know who the killer is early, your questioning the why and rapidly turning the pages to find it out! Don't miss this strong series!
