This book is book #4 in the Detectives Harvey & Birch Murder Mystery series. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and devoured it in one day! It is an easy read and is excellent for those that love criminal thrillers and mystery! I do prefer very short chapters, but that is a personal preference and does not take away from the book overall. This book was just twisty enough to keep me interested, but not too twisty that it was inauthentic and overwhelming.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable read which is set in Ireland and features Detective Aaron Birch, a very likeable character., and Detective Asha Harvey. The team work well together trying to solve the murder of an elderly farmer and the characterisation is spot on. The plotting is excellent, well written and there is plenty of suspense right until the end. I recommend this book to lovers of crime thrillers as a very good read. I do hope there is a follow up. Thanks to Net Galley for my ARC.

Thank you NetGalley and Joffe Books for the eARC.
Great book, I loved it. The Irish setting is appealing and so are the police characters; they're very likeable and work well together. The killer is complicated and terrifying, but, surprisingly, also got me feeling sorry for them.
It takes quite a bit of footleather and internet surfing before the culprit is finally discovered. The ending is good and satisfying: I can't wait for the next in the series.
Highly recommended!

Kerry Buchanan did a wonderful job on The Darkening Hills. It kept me reading, and was interesting from the beginning. I was easily invested in the lives of the characters and enjoyed how all of the pieces fit together in the end. I would highly recommend this book to others and look forward to reading other titles!

This series features DI Asha Harvey and DS Aaron Price.

Gerren Penrose and his friend, Rob Harris, often spent time together in Rob’s secluded cottage. Gerren couldn’t make it one evening, so he called around the following day only to find Rob dead. Not just dead but dismembered.

Gerren called the police but when they arrived, they thought that he was the perpetrator because he was covered in blood. It wasn’t Rob’s blood, it was his dog, Jack’s. He had also been injured but was still alive. Gerren doesn’t realise that there’s a woman hiding nearby and she’s watching him.

A gripping read which I recommend.
