I loved the premise of this story and was keen to start this book.
DS Alice Washington is investigating who might be stalking the bestselling crime writer Camilla Harton-Gray, who has recently moved back to live in the small village of Fortbridge. The episodes seem to be replicating details from Camilla's novels. Could the story be coming true? Can Alice with her colleague Roy solve the mystery and find the stalker before it gets more serious and people get hurt?
I found it a little slow to get into and immerse myself in the story.
It is narrated by both Alice and Roy, who are well developed characters. I loved the chapters written by a mysterious third narrator, detailing his unhappy childhood. I enjoyed trying to work out who the narrator was and how this would fit into the main story. I preferred the second half of the story the most as the tension builds and the strands come together.
Overall, I thought this was an interesting crime procedural that I quite enjoyed and a good debut.
