All That Is Buried by Robert Scragg
5.0
I would like to thank NetGalley, the author Robert Scragg and the publishers Allison & Busby for this free reader's copy in exchange for an honest review of this book.
It took me a little while to get used to the two main characters in this story as this is the third book in the series and is the first book in the series that I have read. However, I very quickly learned who was who and their role.
A young girl, Libby Hallforth, aged seven, goes missing from a funfair and DI Jake Porter and DS Nick Styles find themselves on the case. The case very quickly goes cold due to very little evidence and lack of witnesses A re-enactment takes place which leads to a possible sighting which then reveals another unpleasant crime scene. Childrens bodies buried, but is one that of Libby. The two detectives are hindered by press intrusion and their boss wanting answers. I love the interaction between DI Jake Porter and DS Nick Styles. They are like chalk and cheese but have a great working relationship. The story is fast moving and full of intrigue. Will definitely be reading more by this author. I really enjoyed the writing style.
