DI Andy Horton is attempting to prove to the courts that he is a good father; that his daughter matters just as much to him as his police work. He takes his daughter for a mini break on the Isle of Wight, but almost immediately stumbled across a woman holding a gun over the body of her brother. The local police are in charge of the investigation, but Andy can’t help but get involved too, and soon find himself on the case in an undercover capacity. The fifth in a series, this book can also be read as a standalone

Thank you to Netgalley for the early audiobook. This was a great listen! I had to get used to the accent but it was a great story full of mystery. I always love a good detective book and this is one I'll definitely recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley and Saga Egmont Audio for the free audio book in exchange for an honest review. This was narrated by Colin Mace who did a fantastic job of immersing me into the story and not wanting to leave!

I am new to this series but love a good british detective story. Inspector Andy Horton goes on a vacation to the Isle of Wright hoping to prove to the courts that he can provide a stable life for his young daughter, go on vacation like everyone else, and not be a workaholic. However, he stumbles onto a young woman in shock, holding a gun over the dead body of her brother. Andy begins to look around while local law enforcement starts working the case but Andy soon finds himself in charge once again.

This is an interesting series with plenty of police procedure and realistic characters. Despite this being book #5, I had no issue reading this as a stand alone. I liked the characters, the way Andy and team moved through the investigation and there was enough conflict to keep it interesting.

I believe I have found a new series to read!
