The Crooked Shore is the 8th book in the Lake District Cold-Case Mysteries series but fortunately can be read as a stand-alone book. This series of crime books feature Hannah Scarlett and historian Daniel Kind and the dramas surrounding the Lake District. In The Crooked Shore, DCI Hannah Scarlett struggles as her Cold Case team begin to lose manpower, but PCC Kit Gleadall helps to revitalise the group as Ramona Smith’s disappearance from over 20 years ago resurfaces. This makes it the perfect time for Hannah to shine to bring justice to an old case and race against the clock to save more innocent lives. Only one question is left remaining, who killed Ramona Smith?
What I loved about this book was how everything linked together. The Crooked Shore is split into alternating perspectives, making it flow at a steady pace. The book is quite dialogue-heavy which I enjoyed as it was very easy to keep turning the page to find out more. As well as this, the chapters are relatively short which helped me read more of the book in one sitting.
The Crooked Shore is addictive to read as you don’t know who to trust as some of the characters are unreliable narrators. There are a lot of plot twists and interesting events that intertwine different characters together. As more and more secrets are revealed throughout the book, the plot grows stronger.
