Meet Detective Inspector Andy Horton. It's his second day back in Portsmouth's CID and things aren't going well.Please note this was previously published as Tide of Death.DI Andy Horton is on his morning run along an isolated stretch of beach when he stumbles across a dead man. Stark naked and bludgeoned to death.Eight months ago, DI Horton's life fell apart when he was suspended for misconduct. His wife kicked him out and stopped him seeing his daughter.The young woman who'd accused him went missing and the charges were dropped, but his personal and professional life are still in a mess.And now it doesn't look good for a detective under suspicion to be the one to find a dead body. His colleagues don't want him on the case.But this murder will challenge Detective Horton in every single way. And when another body turns up with the same cause of death, Horton suspects he might be the next person in the killer's sights.This absolutely gripping detective mystery is perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Joy Ellis, Rachel McClean, Helen H. Durrant, Angela Marsons, Elly Griffiths, Karin Slaughter, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.

First book in a new series. This is just the type of book I usually enjoy, but left quite underwhelmed with this one. The writing felt clunky and I never really felt into the book, also never felt it with the main character. Could be the book, or my mood, or possibly read too many of these type of books recently. Think I need some time away from detective books.

Might give book 2 a try at sone point, but not rushing. #SeriesLove2023 @TheSpineView

EadieB @Andrew65 Never read it either. Might just be a bad first book in series. 6mo
Andrew65 @EadieB That is something I‘ve considered. I always like to give a series 2 books so at some point will most probably pick up the second book. They are quite short books. @Tove_Reads 6mo
EadieB @Andrew65 Great idea! 6mo

The first book in this series. I wasn't not 100 % sure about this series , so I'm going to give book 2 a go.

Andrew65 Just finished this book and feel very much the same. 6mo
