The Damselfly by Susi (S.J.I.) Holliday, Susi (S.J.I.) Holliday
5.0
I have read all the books in this trilogy and I am really hoping the author will make it into a series as it would literally be a crime to end it after this one as it is sooooo good!
What I love about these books is that they are all connected by one character, DS Davie Gray, yet he is very much in the back ground in them.
This story is mainly told in alternating chapters between Louise who is also in the police force and Polly who has just returned to Banktoun and works at the local school. Between the two characters we start to unravel the going ons surrounding Katie’s death.
Katie is an A grade student who is set on going to London to university with her boyfriend Neil. She is fascinated with insects which reminisced of The Silence of the Lambs. Her unexplained death sends the small town in turmoil.
There is so many twists and turns in this book. With plenty of people that could be behind Katie’s death the author ensured that she kept me on my toes as to who could have killed her and what a shock it was when I found out as I had no clue. Through Louise and Polly’s character we get to delve more into all the characters and as to what secrets they are hiding.
I have really enjoyed this trilogy and I have to say that The Damselfly is without a doubt the best one by far. If you are after a gripping and enthralling read with a great setting in a small community, I think you will be hard pushed to get a much better one than this one.
My thanks to Black & White Publishing for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.
