Summary

Detective Kate Hamblin is doing surveillance on the Somerset Levels, trying to catch a crazed arsonist. She leaves the van for a moment. Then it goes up in flames, killing her two colleagues.

Kate is accused of abandoning them and is excluded from the murder hunt and effectively suspended from duty.

She is desperate to nail the killer herself and clear her name. She risks all by entering into an unholy alliance with the murder team's chief suspect.

Kate finds herself not only targeted in a personal vendetta by her own DCI, but stalked by the very killer she is pursuing.

A vicious criminal named Twister with an agenda of slaughter.

Can Kate catch the killer before he takes out the only witness? And will her career go up in flames before it’s even really started?

Discover a nail-biting new series of mysteries that you won’t want to miss.

Perfect for fans of Rachel Abbott, Robert Bryndza, Mel Sherratt, Angela Marsons, Colin Dexter or Ruth Rendell.

A nice cozy murder

Decent story. Although the main character is a police officer, this is not a police procedural novel. The posh detective boyfriend is a little hard to believe; as a young man, he refers to his girlfriend as ‘old girl’. I’m not sure anyone speaks that way these days. However, enjoyable enough for me to read the next “episode”.
