Book 9 #murder2020 @Tove_Reads

@RachelO if you want a REALLY LOCAL to me book for #westcountryreads, this is the book!

rockpools Hmm 🤔. Is it super-gorey? For some reason I‘m nervous of Minette Walters... 5y
jenniferw88 @RachelO I wouldn't say so, the only graphic bits occur on pp65-70 (that's where the autopsy report comes in). I will say trigger warnings for rape and drowning though. 5y
rockpools @jenniferw88 Thanks - that sounds doable. I‘ll give it a go when the libraries reopen. Is it set in your hometown? 5y

This was a quick read and the murder and investigation was easy to follow. I enjoyed most of the characters although at first I found it hard to work out which policeman was which. I especially like the fact the main policeman in the story in a PC. The characters are well written although their are parts of the book that maybe quite disturbing to others. All together a good quick read that I enjoyed.
