I am thrilled to be on the tour for this read. Thanks to Hobeck for the invitation.
What's it about?
It is a new year and the Covid pandemic is a distant memory for the residents of Wilton Close. If only the sudden death of neighbour Tara Sanderson wasn’t still haunting some of them. But Tara is very much alive in memories, and consciences – in particular, those of friends Ashley Khan, Elspeth Chambers and Clare ‘Bird Woman’ Titchfield.
Then a young woman from a nearby caravan park is found dead in a local quarry. Police conclude it was suicide; she was gravely ill when she died. But is there more to the tragic death than meets the eye?
Attempting to lay ghosts to rest, Ashley becomes obsessed with solving the mystery, finding an unlikely ally in the local police. Her friends insist on helping, too. Clare must make amends after she carelessly let the local vicar snatch her drawing of the scene of Tara’s death. Elspeth seeks atonement for her role in Tara’s unfortunate demise – while doing her best to quell suspicions that the three friends are guilty of a heinous crime.
The trio find themselves trailing the young woman’s suspected killers, pitching them against powerful men determined to keep their own secrets hidden. To stand a chance of defeating their adversaries, the women must find a courage beyond their imagination.
Review:
Its brilliant to be back with these colourful residents, who have entertained me all over again with this next instalment.
Fun, surprising and at times a bit dark in the best possible way.
Love the female characters in this whose actions never cease to amaze me. I'm never quite sure if they are brave or stupid- likely both. Either way it makes for edge of seat reading and screaming at the book trying to stop their next crazy mission.
I loved their attempts to negotiate with the police and the general dynamic between all the characters within Wilton Close. Although, not sure I'd want to be moving there to join them anytime soon as its fun being a fly on the wall..
Delightful.
