The Damselfly by Susi (S.J.I.) Holliday, Susi (S.J.I.) Holliday
4.0
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book as I hadn't read the previous books in the series. Although there is obviously quite a bit about the characters I didn't know due to this, I didn't feel I missed out not having read the other books.
The story itself takes the reader through the investigation into a young girls death. The author throws in quite a few red herrings and when the actual perpetrator was uncovered I was shocked. I honestly didn't see it coming at all. That is the sign of a good story, one where I can't figure out at least some of it before the author reveals all.
There is another story running throughout, that of Polly McAllister who has recently returned to the town. This added a bit more bite to the story, not that it needed any more, but it gave a different strand to follow.
The story is written well and as for the epilogue! I loved it and hated it all at the same time. Wow, what a way to end the book.
Many thanks to TBC on Facebook for providing a copy.
