Blurb

The floor felt hard beneath her face. Nancy opened her eyes. Blinked several times. A pain seared through her head. She could feel fluid. No. She was lying in fluid.

When a body is discovered in a burnt-out barn in the Warwickshire countryside, DI Will Jackman is called to investigate.

Nancy Faraday wakes up on the kitchen floor. The house has been broken into and her boyfriend is missing. As the case unravels, DI Jackman realises that nothing is quite as it appears and everyone, it seems, has a secret.

Can he discover the truth behind the body in the fire, and track down the killer before Nancy becomes the next victim?

Review

First of all, I would just like to say how brilliant the description is. I can see the massive amounts of research that the author has put into this book. I love it when books are as accurate as they can be.

A body is found in a burnt down barn with no clue as to who it is. Meanwhile, a girl named Nancy wakes up but with very little memory of what has happened the previous night. She has a deep cut to her head, her boyfriend Evan is missing and the window is smashed leaving her confused as to what conspired.

She is taken to hospital by investigators and left to try and piece together her broken memory in order to find out what has happened to Evan.

The main detective, Jackman realises something isn't as it seems and decides to go back to the barn to see if there are any missed clues. After discovering a hidden door Jackman continues to delve into the mystery death.

Finally, things come to light and the identity of the body is discovered but this only leads to more unsolved questions.

After lots of twists and turns one of the least suspecting people is found to be the murder.

I found this book to have so many twists and turns in it, I'm usually spot on when it comes to figuring out the killer but even this one had me stumped until the very end. Very well written and a great read, I would definitely recommend this book.
