dark emotional mysterious medium-paced

My first read of this author. 

Layla was brutally murdered.  Two years later there are no suspects, and her parents and younger brother Gale are struggling to deal with her tragic death.

DI Kieran Clarke wants to do a reconstruction to jog people’s memories. 

However her brother knows who killed Layla, because she told him. 

I have to say it was the supernatural element of the storyline that persuaded me to read it. 

We get Gale and Layla’s POV, the parents Rachel and Jon, and the police.  I enjoyed Gale and Layla’s  interaction, they are just ace. The uncomplicated writing style suits the young protagonists POV.

In the second half we get a different POV emphasis. 

It’s dark but in no way graphic. graphic. It’s different, and I loved that. I found the ending moving. 

There’s a scene I felt was over described and not relevant, where as a more crucial scene was underplayed and more hinted at than fully described. 

I loved the premise of the story, I had an arc, there are some editing issues which I hope will be resolved before publication.
