The Insider by Mari Hannah
5.0
This is a cracking read from start to finish. Mari Hannah really does seem to just get better and better as this outing for Stone and Oliver really cements them in the readers mind and in the North East literary landscape!
Don't think that the above gets in the way of a plot - no sirree - you might not want to read this on a train though! You'd think a local and remote railway line was safe, that the bridges over the Northumberland rivers were nice places to look....well they are normally. In this novel, they're crime scenes and places with hidden secrets. (There's a particular legend which was really fascinating!)
Oliver and Stone are back with a vengeance and even though this is only book two, I feel I really know them now. There's lots of character development here, banter and an insight into their work ethics which was very interesting. There's an added frisson when someone seems to be tailoring them from the inside. Added tension all the way.
Recommended!!
