A gripping new crime series for fans of Val McDermid, Jane Casey, Cara Hunter, and Mare of Easttown. CSI Ally Dymond’s dedication to justice has cost her a spot on the major investigations team after exposing corruption. Now, she’s relegated to handling petty crimes on the quiet North Devon coast. When the body of nineteen-year-old Janie Warren is discovered in Bidecombe, Ally’s skills are suddenly in demand again. However, her findings contradict the lead detective’s theory, and no one is willing to heed the insights of the CSI who previously implicated their colleagues. As time ticks away, Ally is the only one pursuing a killer who remains unnoticed—except by the killer himself, who lurks just beyond the crime scene tape, ready to strike. Readers have praised the novel for its beautifully paced writing and tension-filled dual viewpoints. The plotting is described as fiendishly clever, keeping readers hooked from beginning to end. Many have found it hard to put down, with one reviewer declaring it a debut that deserves more than five stars. With relatable characters and unexpected twists, this compelling police procedural/thriller promises to captivate crime fiction fans and leaves them eagerly anticipating the next installment.
