Wanted to read this for some time, as I received the next book for free from the author as an ARC for a review.
Usual fast read, interesting case, which kept me guessing, but the first twist was nearly advertised early on (or I am good at guessing), and then there where no real surprises for me for quite some time.
Like in the last books, taking place now and in the UK and still not a word about BREXIT, although I think it will have quite an impact, with visiting vineyards in France!
Highly Recommended. Nice fast read. But not enough surprises and suspense for me for 5 stars, so a solid 4 stars it is.
For fans of these series (Author - Heroine):

For fans of these series (Author - Heroine):
Angela Marsons - Kim Stone
Robert Bryndza - Detective Erika Foster
M.J. Arlidge - DI Helen Grace
Celina Grace - Kate Redman (too much romance and not strong enough heroine for me)
Griffiths, Elly - Ruth Galloway
Robert Dugoni - Tracy Crosswhite
Danielle Girard - Dr. Schwartzman (? not so sure wether this belongs here...)
Ashley Dyer - Ruth Lake & Greg Carver

This is a fast paced thriller focusing on the disappearance of a young girl and a dead man found floating in the river with his face missing. I think any investigation involving children hit the police hard but this one effects not only Kay who recently miscarried but also her co-worker who lost his son which make them more human and feel real.
Amphletts characters are well written, relatable and likable. This story kept me guessing who the killer was and the ending was well done. I appreciate a good police procedural and these books definitely fit the bill.

Another solid police procedural. Add a missing kid and the stakes get higher. Another good read from Amphlett.
