Fire on the Fells by Cath StaincliffeMy rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Book 2 in the series (The Fells is book 1), this book may be better than book 1!
A young man lays dead in the fields behind an exclusive shooting resort. Did one of the guests shoot him, and the employees cover it up? As Leo and Shan keep asking questions, they keep getting more lies and obstruction, but get no closer to solving the case. As tempers flare with their continued intrusion to the daily activity of the resort, soon secrets come to light and as the detectives struggle to solve the case, they are put in more danger than they realize. With a heart stopping race to find the killer, before more harm comes to others, this is a story you'll be telling friends about! Be sure to check out this new series if you love British police procedurals!
THE DETECTIVES
Detective Leo Donovan is a veteran of the Yorkshire force. A true empath, he’s happily married, but prone to low mood and bouts of arthritis. Compassion motivates him, and a need to see justice done in a flawed world that is seldom fair. Leo’s wayward son drives him to distraction, but working with his partner Shan is a breath of fresh air.
Detective Shan Young is a rising star of Leo’s team. She lands her first case as detective while pregnant. Not that she’s fazed by it. A salt-of-the-earth Yorkshire lass with Chinese heritage, she often feels caught between two cultures — something which makes her appreciate Leo all the more, as a mentor and a friend.
THE SETTING
Welcome to the Yorkshire Dales, an untamed landscape of fells and valleys, waterfalls and ruined barns, deep, dark caves and windswept limestone pavements. Farming and mining have shaped these remote hills over the centuries. But what secrets lie buried beneath the spectacularly beautiful surface?
