Welcome to Litsy!

The second in a scintillating series,this unique police procedural features DC Constance Childs. There is plenty of intrigue and a plot full of the unexpected, with unforeseen twists and turns.This mystery is set in the small English town of Bampton, which hides a big secret, buried below its bubbling surface. Many of the novel‘s characters are broken and scarred, but realistic. I could not put this down; I had to read it in one sitting.

The second D.C. Connie Childs detective novel, set in the Derbyshire peak district. This is a fast-paced murder investigation with an intriguing premise, excellent plot twists, a good sense of danger and a smattering of personal relationship issues to spice things up. Lots of fun! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A woman‘s husband is found shot, thing is she just got out of jail for smothering him to death with a pillow almost 2 decades before. This is all because of a very #metoo thing going on in society

This novel, about the discovery of a body that matches the identity of someone murdered and buried years before, was perfect for a chilly evening. Fall is mystery novel season for me, and I'm glad to have so many great ones to choose from!

I enjoyed this book. The short chapters which change perspective kept the story moving quickly. I hope that the author continues to write mysteries involving this group of police officers.

Went to my local bookshop and bought the signed copy of A Deadly Thaw. Got everything else free as it's National Book Shop day!

Sarah Ward is an author on the rise. This book is EXACTLY what I was in the mood for!!! I'm about 40% through and I'm completely hooked. A classic whodunnit with strong influences of Nordic Noir. Sarah, I'm already a fan!!😍💙 #crimefiction #SarahWard
