I am enjoying this series., this is the 3rd book in the series. This has a storyline with many twists which had me guessing throughout. I look forward to reading more

Thank you NetGalley for approving me for this book. A good read that I definitely enjoyed and am glad to have been able to read.

I love the growth of the characters as the series progresses. Each of the books can be read as a stand alone, but you will lose seeing the growth. I complained about Millie backing down and letting everyone control things in her life when writing my review of book 2 and loved that she is finally standing up for herself and her son.

This one has an interesting premise with Millie and Guy meeting with a prisoner to literally find where he buried the bodies, but that isn't the outcome and they investigate what he has led them to.

While these are slow burns, I enjoy the friendship and working relationship with Millie and Guy and my new favorite character might be Millie's son Eric.

These books are beautifully written. I've really enjoyed the journey,

4/5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishers, and Kerry Wilkinson for allowing me to read and review this book.

This is the 3rd book in the Whitecliff Bay Mystery series. You will need to read the first book in order to fully understand this one. There are many characters and situations that are explained in the first book that are expanded on in this book.

I have really enjoyed this series thus far and look forward to any more book that will be added in the future. The entire series is gripping and interesting.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a well written mystery series that has gripping mysteries in each book and overall storylines that span across all the books.

Third in the Whitecliff Bay mysteries,best read in order. Another complex mystery for amateur sleuth Millie to solve.A good read.

The third in this series
Another good read
Will keep you guessing at what is going on
Great page turner
Thanks NetGalley

A brilliant read that had me hooked right from the very start, I couldn't put it down. The twists were so good too

An enjoyable holiday read and I had a three box set, so one after the other as the sun shone.
With Kerry’s books you know what to expect and are rarely disappointed.

This is the 3rd book in the series. Once again I was hooked from the very first page. Great characters. Loved the ending.

The Whitecliff Mystery series by Kerry Wilkinson was a must read for me as he is one of my go-to authors. If he releases a book, I need to read it. I was looking forward to this series as soon as I discovered they were being released.
The One Who Fell introduces us to Millie Westlake. A woman whose life has fallen apart in the last few years. She is a volunteer at an old people's home and when a resident tells her she saw a girl on a roof during the night, Millie takes it upon herself to attempt to get to the bottom of what she has been told. Will she discover if there was truly a girl who fell from the roof of if it was a figment of the residents imagination.
The story starts slowly as we get to know the characters and their back stories, particularly Millie’s. It's as always so well written and the characters so believable. Millie herself is an intriguing woman who I was fascinated with. I can't wait to see how she develops over this series.
The interwoven mystery was one that made me keep picking this book up. The twists made it quite a thrilling read that did have me wondering throughout. The fact that I couldn't guess what happened resulted in a surprise ending for me.
The One Who Was Taken picks up after the events of the first book and I was really happy to be able to read it straight after the first.
By the time I had read two chapters I was feeling like I was back with a friend. Although it's a friend I'm still getting to know. Millie is such a complex woman but as the story unfolded, more little bits about her are revealed. The characters are all so well described and the settings too. I could picture Guy's home so clearly. He is now a friend of Millie and I revelled in the way their relationship is growing by the chapter.
The plot is again another gripping one. That again hooked me from the start. I just wanted to know how it would end, and how these events would affect Millie herself. I am quite fond of this woman now. That's the skill of Kerry Wilkinson. He can create fictional people who the reader feels invested in so fast.
I am still reading the third book, The Ones Who Are Buried. It's another quality read. One that I'm thoroughly enjoying. Again the characters are so vivid and the mystery is keeping me on my toes.
The Whitecliff Mystery series is a departure from Kerry Wilkinson's previous books. It's also a series that slowly grips you from the first book and does become an addictive read. I'm hoping book four comes along quite soon as I will be bereft when I finish the book I'm currently reading! Great stories with multi layered characters and twisty plots.
Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the gifted ARCs. I REVIEWED ALL BOOKS TOGETHER.

Kerry Wilkinson, The Ones Who Are Buried (A Whitecliff Bay Mystery Book 3), Bookouture 17 April 2023.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with this uncorrected proof for review.

The Ones Who Are Buried continues the partnership between Millie Westlake and Guy Rushden and begins a new investigation into the disappearance of two school age boys. The investigation begins with Kevin Ashworth, former teacher and football coach found guilty of their abduction, leading the way over cold and wet moorlands to recover a small wooden box. It is too small to house the remains of the missing boys on whom the expedition has focussed but will become an important part of the story of their disappearance. Millie is intrigued by the demand for Guy’s presence, and the background to his and Ashworth’s story is partially revealed. Moving well away from cold and wet expeditions is Millie’s interest in unravelling a mystery associated with a film star, and their visit to her opulent but decaying house.

At the same time as Millie and Guy investigate, their domestic circumstances are further revealed. Millie’s ongoing battle to remain calm in the face of her ex-husband’s and his new partner’s provocation; her relationship with her son who is in his father’s custody; her friendships; and then, a new introduction to the series, more about Guy’s domestic life.

Kerry Wilkinson brings to the distressing scenario of the missing boys his usual sensitivity and understanding, making this third book in the series another absorbing addition to the Whitecliff Bay mysteries. He combines the investigations; the ongoing domestic concerns of the two major protagonists; and the burgeoning friendship and relationships between Millie, Guy and the other major characters mysteries well.

As with the first two novels in this series, the mysteries are solved, but these are not the whole of the work. The way in which they are solved is far from the victorious summary of events and denouement. Rather, people’s feelings are exposed, and their motivations developed. Through the investigations wider social concerns are revealed and considered. It is this added layer that makes the Whitecliff Bay series one to be appreciated.

Truly enjoyed this installment and the atmospheric setting. Twists and turns kept me guessing until the very end.

This is the third instalment for the Millie Westlake and The Whitecliffe Bay Mysteries'. Each book gets better and better. The character development within each book is fabulous. A perfect book to escape with.

This is book 3 of the Millie Westlake mysteries, and they just keep getting better.
Convicted killer Kevin Ashworth has finally decided to tell all about where the bodies of two young boys are buried. He is released for a couple of hours so that he can take the police to the site, but ony on the condition that Millie's sluthing partner, Guy is present.
What mysteries will they find? There are multiple twists to this tale, and the story highlights the love someone can have for another.
Another excellent read, roll on book 4!

The third book in the Whitecliff Bay Mystery series and these books just keep getting better, I can't wait to get stuck into the fourth. I always enjoy his storytelling style, so easy to follow.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

The Ones Who Are Buried is a Whitecliff Bay Mystery and it’s book 3!
This was my favorite to date and I thought it was so good. It can be read as a stand-alone, just saying.
KW wrote a marvelous mystery and I had to know what happened. The characters development was on point. Great writing. This odd relationship with Guy and Millie was part of why I liked this so much. And KW took me through so many scenarios. It really made me think. I liked all the characters (except two) and didn’t want to put this down. It’s good and I highly recommend this one. If you love a good mystery then you have to read it.
Thanks Bookouture via Netgalley.

Thanks to NetGalley, publisher and author, for the free copy of this book. The Whitecliff Bay Mystery series is just awesome. Each book brings a mystery to be solved but Millie, the main character, has a mystery that has not been solved yet but we get a little bit closer to the truth in every book. This one particular story, I may have guessed a little bit what really happened to the missing boys but, there were elements that surprised me. I always enjoy the author's storytelling style in every book I have read from him: easy to follow, interesting and super engaging. Loved this book and love the series!

I found this twisty, fast paced, and heart breaking at moments. There's a lot of victims in this novel, there's a solid plot that kept me guessing, and we learn more about Millie.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

I kept a small gap between the Books 1 and 2 and it helped me to enjoy this
story more.

The setting of Whitecliff and its environs are mediocre, the characters seem
also a bit drab and grey. Millie and Guy in this story are there purely to unravel
the mystery of two boys presumed murdered. The only person who can give the location is
Kevin Ashworth in prison who has decided to reveal any information only to Guy and
Millie much to the local Police Chiefs anger and chagrin.

Murder destroys on many levels and we see lives twisted with pain on many levels
not just the victims families alone. This is a particular feature in this story.
The murderer was a victim too here. His actions were purely to protect his son. This
is revealed only towards the end, it changes the entire tenor of the read.

Very stark, quite an emotional read.

The third whitecliff Bay mystery, this series gets better with each book. Kevin who is serving life for the murder of two boys who's bodies have not been found, thus Guy and Millie get involved which leads to plenty of twists. Characters grow with each book. Roll on book four. I received this book from Bookoutre and Netgalley for a review.
