Blurb:
“A police procedural with real imagination and heart, and a marvelous lightness of style and wit.”—PHILIP PULLMAN, author of His Dark Materials trilogy.
Newly married and navigating life with a preschooler as well as her adopted adolescent son, Manon Bradshaw is happy to be working part-time in the cold cases department of the Cambridgeshire police force, a job that allows her to potter in, coffee in hand, and log on for a spot of Internet shopping—precisely what she had in mind when she thought of work-life balance. But beneath the surface Manon is struggling with the day-to-day realities of what she’d assumed would be domestic bliss: fights about whose turn it is to clean the kitchen, the bewildering fatigue of having a young child while in her forties, and the fact that she is going to couples counseling alone because her husband feels it would just be her complaining.
But when Manon is on a walk with her four-year-old son in a peaceful suburban neighborhood and discovers the body of a Lithuanian immigrant hanging from a tree with a mysterious note attached, she knows her life is about to change. Suddenly, she is back on the job full-force, trying to solve the suicide—or is it a murder—in what may be the most dangerous and demanding case of her life.

Wow... BRILLIANT! Philip Pullman's quote captures it! So sad there will be no more from this author and that this the last of what's turned out to be a trilogy. Her writing will be missed by any who read this far into her DI Manon Bradshaw's story.
Impressive writer, both the topics, of modern slavery and illegal immigrants [such thorough research paid off] and the chaotic elements of DI Manon Bradshaw's character, are dynamic and genuinely believable. Do, do, do, track these down, buy and them!

However, while in Somerset, I decided to continue with my plan and passed this onto Flutterbies9 in celebration of Christmas 2024 and as part of my late delivery of an 'Advent Calendar of Books'! Here then a book you can pass on ASAP hugs rainbow3.
