Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and author for this ARC.
I have read most of the Geraldine Steel series of books but not the last three. Events that happened in these books are referred to in this one, although this book can still be read on it’s own. DS Steel has been demoted and is working in York, back alongside DI Peterson. Two tramps are murdered a short time apart and DS Steel is investigating these murders. Two more murders follow and when someone confesses to the murders, the case is considered closed. DS Steel has her doubts about the confession of the culprit and relies on her gut instinct which lead to more questions and suspects. The book is told in parts by different characters which I liked. I felt the book read well, it flowed easily and was an absorbing read although it could have been a little shorter, especially towards the end where I felt it started to waffle a bit. There were lots of twists and turns in the story, and all loose ends were tied together nicely. A surprise ending which I expect will be explored more in the next book. I will want to read the next book and try to catch up on what I’ve missed in this series.
