Another twisty tale from Oxfordshire.
The murder victim is a fifteen year old boy who turns out to be a very nasty little git. The list of suspects just keeps growing until an ending that totally blindsided me!
Gemma Dawson is the voice actor who really brings even more credibility to the story.

Great

I enjoy Faith Martin’s books. She covers every detail, and one never knows the murderer until the end. Bravo!

Great story and narrator, except…

…the ending was disappointing. Not terrible, just not as good as the rest of the book. Until the last chapter I had decided to give it 5 stars. Still, I think this was the best of the Hilary Green books yet, and I do recommend it. I’m ready for the next one.

And the hits just keep in coming!

FMartin has done it again! Continual development of relatable heroine and supporting cast of characters. Hillary, thankfully continues to be gritty, intelligent, and discerning! Thank you Ms Martin for NOT making her into some wishy washy love struck milk sop! Please keep her strong willed & capable! As long as THAT happens i'll keep buying every installment!

Enjoyable detective series

Dislike the drunken lazy personality of the Sergeant but that’s why they write him that way.
