I appreciated the way Martin moves her continuing themes along from book to book. Just enough development to keep them bubbling on the back burner, adding some texture but not taking over the main plot lines. Martin writes smoothly, and the book flows readily from scene to scene. I suspect this is not especially easy to do, even in light fiction like this. This series is no more than a pleasant distraction - but so far it is consistently so. An enjoyable "listen" to keep me occupied while catching up on household chores this weekend. This is the second in the re-issue of this series of DI Hillary Greene. A student, Eva Gerainte of St. Anselm's college, has been found dead under suspicious circumstances.. So Greene leads her team in the investigation of leading to some surprising finds in the life of Eva, but did any of these lead to her death. An enjoyable easy to read, well-written mystery. I am getting to like the mix of the characters.. I hope to read the next in the series Received an Advanced Reader Copy England, law-enforcement, murder-investigation***** I've read later books in this series and I can honestly tell you that they are are absolutely impressive as stand-alones. I decided to go back to the beginning so I could see how the DI Greene grew and developed her native skills and I am glad that I did. She is gifted with several rare talents: (un)common sense, and acute observation. This is a very tricky assignment full of misdirection, plot twists, and red herrings, but it is so worth it! Gemma Dawson gives a fine audio interpretation as narrator. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Meanwhile, Hillary is dealing with a lot of personal issues. Her deceased husband was found to be a “bent copper” leaving her with legal and financial issues as she finds herself living on her uncle’s longboat. To make it worse, she has to work with her husband’s questionable former partner and the officer who investigated her possible role in the misdeeds is transferred to her division.
This is Book 2 in a twenty book series. I thought I had read it as I have finished a number of the Hillary Greene stories. When I looked at it closer, I hadn’t.
Faith Martin writes absorbing British police procedurals and this one is no exception. The story is engrossing and entertaining with good character development. Hillary is a strong, capable leader. I really enjoy the humor expressed in Martin’s writing.
I recommend this series for anyone seeking lighter British police procedurals with engaging characters. ( )
