I love it when, with mysteries, I can honestly say "I didn't see this coming". Charlotte Mills does a great job of taking the reader somewhere, very logically, but when you get there, it's another place than you thought you were being taken too, yet it's still as coherent. Very well done.

Enjoyed this book quite a bit. I thought it would be a bit more like some of the old UK police procedurals I've read, but didn't get quite that gritty. With Kate's arrival in Warner, she's called out a week before she's supposed to start and gets off to a rocky start with the locals and the DCI. There appears to be a bit of a crime spree - an arsonist, a dead body and a missing architect - which keeps things moving as Kate and Helen juggle the cases and their burgeoning attraction. At times, I thought Kate was a shit police officer, but then again, the lesbian super detective trope gets old so it was nice to see someone who sometimes got caught off guard and the fact that sometimes it just takes time and effort to track down leads and evidence. Overall a very good read. I'll be keeping my eyes open for the next book by Ms Mills.
