A Body in the Lakes
by Graham Smith
Happy Publication day to A Body In The Lakes by Graham Smith
Genre: mystery/thriller
Publication date: march 15th 2019
A Body in the Lakes is the second book in the detective Beth Young series by Graham Smith. It wasn't a stand out book for me. It was much like any other detective book. Beth the main detective gets a case and tries to solve it. I would give the book 2.5🌟 rounding up to a 3🌟review. I found the book to be rather blah until the last 15% of the book when i thought how could this possibly continue but then it took a turn i wasn't expecting that added the first bit of suspense to the book for me
🍀Possible spoilers ahead🍀
A fourth body has been discovered, all 4 are females, all strangled, raped and found naked. Detective Beth Young finds it strange that the one was a much older women who only had a short time left, as she was dying of cancer. Beth takes the clues left by the body and sets out to investigate, her first suspect the mayor. Shortly after a 5th girl is found to be missing. Has the dubed lakeland ripper killer at it again? As Beth delves deeper into the investigation they are able to locate the missing 5th girl and apprehend the "lakeland ripper" which is where i thought oh end of the story. But no there is more Beth being the amazing detective she is discovers that there is another murderer one who framed the mayor. That's why the dying cancer hadn't fit the first murderer's MO. Beth then starts to uncover the mystery behind this and that's where the book got juicy to me. Just unfortunate that it took the book that long to really grab my attention.
