I really enjoyed this book. The body of the suspect in a shooting is found in a graveyard, and the case is reinvestigated by police officers Sheridan and Anna. They are assisted by Joni, a worker in a care home, and her friend and flatmate Sam. These characters are all great, and there is a lot of humour in the dialogue. The plot is good, with lots of twists and revelations along the way.
highly recommended.

DI Sheridan Holler hopes that she and her team will be able to enjoy a quiet Christmas season in Liverpool are dashed when a gravedigger finds a skeleton that definitely doesn’t belong in his cemetery. Assumptions about the case begin to fall apart under Sheridan’s investigation, and because of a care home worker who is trying to understand the so far incomprehensible words uttered by a gunshot victim. Sheridan has a great rapport with her team, and it’s a pleasure to read a police procedural where the officers respect and like their DCI because he supports them. The inclusion of Sheridan’s personal life and how it has shaped her career choice promise to be part of future books in the series.

Thank you NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for the eARC.
Wow, I absolutely loved this book, wish I could give it more than 5 stars!
DI Sheridan Holler is one of a cast of very likeable characters. I enjoyed the relationships between the many 'good guys' and hated the few bad ones. And I laughed at Maud, the cat, sooo cute!
The story is terrific, as is the way it's presented. It's clever, surprising and absolutely absorbing. And it has a lot of heart. I just can't say enough about it, it's that good. Hopefully there are many more in this series, because this first one is awesome. Highly recommended!

Great book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! This book had a bit of everything! It had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, bad cops, good cops, a fantastic who done it, great police work, and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and had me glued to my Kindle! I highly recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
