Catfish

Set in King’s Lynn, Detective Anna Macarthur – known as Crazy Macarthur to her colleagues – has been off on sick leave after she was stabbed. One evening, she has a very boring date and makes her excuses to cut it short. She goes for a walk and spots a body lying on the steps of a chapel. It’s clearly a murder because the woman has ‘catfish’ carved into her chest.

Anna calls the police and, when they arrive, she gives them all her details as well as her own alibi. The next day, she goes into the station where her boss asks her to work on the case unofficially, which she agrees to do.

I really enjoyed this book and found it hard to put down.

Thank you to NetGalley and The Book Folks for an advance reader copy in return for an honest review.

Anna McArthur has been on enforced leave for ten months after being stabbed in an incident gone wrong.
She is called in unofficially to help out when she finds a woman stabbed with the word CATFISH carved into her body.
Anna has a reputation for getting into the thick of things without thinking anything through.
However, she is a good investigator and gets the job done in the end.

I was very impressed at this first novel by Sadie Norman. It might not be the most polished of books, but it was entertaining and I always like a female investigator. Anna gets teased a lot by her team members, but realises in the end that they care for her. I am looking forward to more in this series.

I recommend and it is 4/5 stars from me.

thanks to Netgalley and The Book Folks for the opportunity to read this book.

This book was a spine- chilling read with many twists and turns throughout! I devoured this book within a day as I eagerly turned the pages to find out what would happen next. I liked the authors writing style as it evoked a sense of excitement, suspense, and anticipation whilst I was racing through the pages- it was a real page turner!

Thanks for the opportunity to read & review it

Another great mystery with a strong female lead! We have Anna who has definitely been through a lot, she is on suspension and is bored. She went on a date and said it was the most boring date, that is until she ditches it and comes upon a murder victim. She instantly wants to go into detective mode but once the police are called she is quickly reminded that she isn’t one of them. The do ask her to step in and help on a temporary basis for this one case and that’s all she needed to then dive in. This was a great story and we even have some romance in it but mostly we have a murder that is slowly unraveling all around this Catfish. If you’re a fan of the show Catfish this will be a good read for you.

I really enjoyed this story! It was well written, fast paced and the FMC, Anna, was really likeable.

After a 10 month forced leave after being stabbed Anna comes across a body with “CATFISH” on it. Her boss asks her to unofficially work the case and what follows is a super entertaining thriller with twists and turns to keep you engaged.
