'Even on the most desirable street, there's a dark side . . .'
I was really looking forward to returning to Leo and Ffion's lives. This was another fast-paced crime thriller and my favourite book of the series so far.
The story starts with DS Leo Brady investigating a series of break in a luxurious estate called The Hill.
Over the border in Wales, DC Ffion Morgan recovers the body of an estate agent from the lake.
Ffion and Leo start to find their cases have more and more in common. I loved how the two cases merge as more secrets are uncovered from the residents of The Hill and the estate agents surrounding the murder investigation.
Leo and Ffion are such brilliant, relatable characters, and I love their relationship. The banter between them is so funny!
I also really enjoyed reading some chapters from Ali's perspective (Leo's ex and Harris' mum) and I couldn't help feeling sorry for her as she so desperately tries to be accepted into the women from The Hill.
I couldn't put this book down and flew through it. There were some very unexpected twists, too! I highly recommend this whole series and I can't wait for book four!
