Great mystery kept me on the edge of of seat. I loved the characters and I enjoyed the ones I disliked which is a sign of strong writing. Highly recommend reading

4.0

DCI Matthew Venn and his team investigate a murder in a small artist’s “commune” in a small town.
PROS:
  • The main character’s sexual orientation does not hinder his profession, but is treated as a given.
  • Lots of potential suspects and motives to consider.
  • Great atmosphere.
