This was a mystery/thriller about an investigator coming back to his roots to investigate a body found on the beach.

This is the beginning of a series that I will watch for #2.

My thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press/Minotaur Books for this advanced readers copy. This book is set to release in September 2019.

I was really hyped for this book at first because I had heard a lot of good things about the author, but in the end it just felt very average to me. The mystery was intriguing but eventually it just became stale and overly long to get to the conclusion.

I see that Ann Cleeves is quite a prolific writer yet this is first of her books that I had the pleasure of running into. This book is the first of a new character she’s developed, Detective Matthew Venn. He is a very likable character which made for a very enjoyable cozy mystery indeed.
