“Salt Lane” offers a solid British mystery that combines murder with societal issues of homelessness and immigration. Det. Sargent Alexandra Cupidi has transferred from the Metropolitan Police to the Kentish countryside.
She’s looking for a new start, but she does nothing to integrate herself into her new community. And even with the hopes of a new start, her emotional baggage makes it difficult. Her relationships with her mother and her teenage daughter are strained and fragile at best. Her complicated love life is, well, complicated.
The mystery starts off strong with a fire, a missing person showing up, and a dead woman. As we get further into the mystery, all the stories start to merge and we begin to feel like there’s a connection to everything, we just don’t know what it is. And as these connections come to light, the tension and danger intensify, and more murder victims are found.
Unfortunately, as we hit the 2/3rds mark, the story focuses on Cupidi’s private life. It brings the tension created by the murders to a halt. Her daughter’s continuous antics became annoying. I liked Cupidi, I found her to be smart and tenacious, but at times her really poor decision-making had me shaking my head.
Overall, the mystery kept me interested. Everything away from the mystery I just started skipping.
