This is the second book in the Detective Lew Kirby Series by S.W. Kane, published by Thomas & Mercer, Amazon Publishing.
For best reading experience I recommend to read the books in order. The previous book is The Bone Jar.
The story picks up soon after the other book was left off. Set in London UK, Lew and Connie are up for the next big adventure.
Connie is looking for clues for her sister's dead, leading her to boarded up buildings where she finds a body.
Det. Lew gets assigned to this case and together they're in for the ride of their lives.
A dark and angsty read, a thriller/ mystery of its finest. An hairraising, goosbumpsgiving read full of drama, suspense, fast paced, full ot twists and turns. I recommend this outstanding read, 5 stars.

Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for the eARC.
This 2nd in the series is as good as the 1st, I loved it.
DI Lew Kirby has buried his mother, an emotional and upsetting event. Connie Darke is still trying to find out the details of her sister's death. When she shelters from the rain in a church on a crumbling disused estate, she stumbles into the hanging body of the estate's architect. Lew investigates, with Connie as a covert investigator.
The story is terrific, the estate creepy and menacing and the secondary characters very well drawn. The ending was so well done, can't wait for no. 3 in the series.
The fact that FFI is a real disease horrified me!
Highly recommended!

Kane definitely knows how to choose her settings.
The abandoned estate in my mind was creepy, derelict, all sorts of broken down... and a little bit spooky.
Because of that, the remaining tenants were all a tad odd, and I was willing to believe any or all of them guilty of murder.

Lew is a good solid dependable character, and I really like him. He works hard,and there's no nonsense .
I'm slightly horrified to discover the FFI is real though!

This book moved at a good pace, and the finale was action packed.
Everything tying together nicely at the end.
Just a really good read.
