The synopsis of this book originally grabbed my attention, but unfortunately i t didn't grab me as much as i thought it would. Whether it is because i had read another story that i still had rattling around in my head, i don't know. The main thing is that i did read it until the end. There are other books by this author that i may read in the near future,

My thanks to Netgalley and the Pubishers for my copy.

Thankyou to NetGalley, Troubador Publishing, Matador and the author, Geoff Brookes, for the opportunity to read a digital copy of In Knives We Trust in exchange for an honest, unbiased opinion.
I was drawn to this book by the premise of the story. Unfortunately, I didn't feel that the actual storyline was as good as it could it could have been.
I felt that the storyline was very slow to actually start, and I just could not connect with any of the characters. Not a book for me.

Firstly, many thanks go to Netgalley and Troubadour publishing for allowing me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my opinion.

The story is set in Swansea during the late nineteenth century and follows Rumsey Burke, a police inspector and all round good man who tries to maintain law and order amongst the locals and visiting seaman whilst grieving for his wife and children. He is called upon to investigate the attempted murder of Mary Guy by her husband Daniel but little does he know that by doing so he will uncover plans and crimes darker than the Swansea night sky.

The story was a bit of a slow burner but once it got going, I was hooked. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and loved that some of the characters were real people. The author’s note at the end of the book explains more about this and it just brought more depth to the story. Bravo Mr Brookes.

I can't say that i loved this book but i didn't enjoy the plot,i felt it lacked pulling power me as i like to feel as if i am in the book but sadly for me that didn't happen.This does not mean that other readers won't enjoy it. 3*
