The Dark Lake by Sarah Bailey
5.0
This is Sarah Bailey's debut novel and the first one of hers I have read. It was passed onto me by my Mum and I loved it. Rosalind Ryan has been murdered and it is DS Gemma Woodstock's job to try and solve the crime along with her colleagues. I enjoyed the author's descriptive writing and her talent for drawing the reader into the story. Rosalind appeared to be a strange woman with manipulative ways about her and Gemma is a troubled young lady of the same age. She has a lot going on in her personal life as she tries to solve a murder that she has a connection to in more ways than one.
I'm pleased that I didn't read some other reviews before I read the book as some people seem to have been put off bu Gemma's character. No one is perfect in this world and everyone has their own issues they are trying to live with. I enjoyed the author's portrayal of every character and will definitely be reading her other novels.
