Summary

Forty years ago something terrible happened in Annie's new house....

Annie Naden and her husband buy a remote country cottage at auction. It’s the home of their own that they always wanted, but as they begin renovations, Annie discovers a satchel in a dusty old hidden cupboard. Inside are the usual schoolbooks, now over 40 years old, and a girl’s diary. Among the record of day-to-day crushes and pop concerts is a secret whose terrible consequences are still resonating to this day.

Detective Tom Calladine has problems of his own. A notorious villain, Vinny Costello, seems to be back in town, and the bodies soon stack up. With Calladine’s loyal DS Ruth Bayliss on maternity leave, he gets in hot water with one of Costello’s assistants and must also cope with an abrasive new member of the team as they seek to untangle a complex series of murders.

What happened to that girl 40 years ago? And what’s it got to do with the current crime wave?

Great storyline

I love the storyline. It is such a shame that very little character development happens. English is my second language, but I do find the vocabulary and expressions boring and a little flat. Then again, it is just a story. I won’t miss the characters, as I never got to know them.

Enjoyable

Another good story with an investigation to be solved and i love the way you can see them slowly getting things figured out in order to solve the story.
This is my type of book and think both Author and narrator does a great job in bringing the characters to life.

*A Cryptic Case*

In this instalment we see DI Tom Callandine missing his trusted sidekick DS Ruth Bayliss. She is on maternity leave and he has a case that he can do without. A criminal that he thought he had seen the back of Vinny Costello. He has a checkered past and Vinny takes no prisoners.

The case stems from a house that has been won at auction by Annie Naden and her husband. As the renovations start a huge secret is about to be discovered…..

Then bodies start to pile up. These murders are being done to flush out Vinny hence his reappearance as they appear to be done in the manner he would choose

What is the motive for the killings and what is the end game?

Lots of twists and turns and Tom also has to deal with a troubled acting DCI seconded to work at their station and his Relationship with the new DCI seems to be running hot and cold. If that was not enough Tom’s personal life is still a disaster

Excellent

But as others have said there are a lot of characters in this book and it’s hard to remember who’s who at times. Still enjoyed it. Narration superb as always
