I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and Avon and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
Two months since ex-Police Negotiator Laura Hart was forced back into action after the kidnap of her son, she has re-joined the force as a DI. When a skeleton is found in a crumbling castle ruin near the seaside town of Beaumaris, Anglesey, she can't wait to prove herself by solving the case.
The victim is identified as Jamie McCann. The only thing anyone seems to know about him is that he disappeared without a trace twenty years ago.
When Laura's investigation leads her to MI5 and the Real IRA, she knows she's on the trail of something truly explosive. But some people will do anything to stop their secrets coming out. With the threat drawing in and her family yet again in danger, is she in too deep?
My Opinion
I have not read the first book in the series but for me, this worked well as a standalone. This book is an interesting thriller and I read the majority of the book in one sitting. There suspense from the opening pages. The plot is told through two timelines but each is clearly labelled so as to not confuse the reader.
As this was my first book by Simon McCleave, this was a great introduction.
Rating 4/5
