The novel begins with a shocking start as two teenagers are killed in a fire. The police become involved, with DI Laura Henshall and DS Will Peters from the Serious Crimes Unit in Sheffield investigating. But while they are working hard to solve that crime, another arson attack happens…
Wow! You’re right into the action with the dramatic first chapter. It’s all go! You want to find out what happened and who was responsible, while following the kids’ families too and seeing how they cope with such devastating news.
The police are great, Laura and Will have a wonderful chemistry and are instantly likeable. It’s always fascinating to follow how the police investigate – and hopefully solve – a crime and that also piqued my interest immediately. You want justice for the victims and their families. I found myself trying to solve it all alongside the police!
All the characters are very believable and I was instantly absorbed into their world and lead into the action. Even the little cameo appearances are beautifully done, especially Joanne the barmaid, the feisty Veronica and young Todd!
It’s hard telling you much more because I don’t want to give anything away – but be prepared for some surprises and shocks along the way! This was definitely a page turner and I’ll look forward to reading more of Anita Waller’s novels, maybe even another with DI Laura Henshall.
