This is the 6th installment of the Kim Stone series. There is discovered a suicide of Jeremy Roberts and Kim is forced to investigate with Tom Travis, DCI of West Mercia. Kim is not too happy about doing this investigation with Tom Travis but her boss insisted. Tom has been investigating a potential hate crime against Polish immigrant, Henryk Kowalski.

Book six in the D.I. Kim Stone series finds Kim having to work without her team and with a previous partner/friend with whom she shares a strained and volatile relationship. Bones are discovered at an archaeological dig which indicate horrific injuries and multiple victims. As she digs into the past and the backgrounds of the families in the area, she begins to uncover legacies of racism and hate crimes. While Marsons is brilliant at juggling 🔻

This series is great 👍🏻 this one had a right nail biter of an ending. Themes and exploration of hate crimes that I thought were done well.

First book completed for #AwesomeAugust and I‘m ready to jump into the next Kim Stone. This wasn‘t a favorite of mine and I think it‘s because there was so much going on and the content was heavy. It was still good and Kim Stone is still a badass DI!

From Helen Grace to Kim Stone after a busy day yesterday. I need a little of crazy strong female detectives to keep me from slipping into another slump. 💪

I was distracted by ‘rona brain again this week. There was nothing inherently wrong with this, I just didn‘t like how Kim was separated from her team as those dynamics are what I love about this series. Also the big bads were too frighteningly realistic especially in this day and age.

Yet another gripping book by a master storyteller. Old bones are found in a yard which leads to questions. Hate crimes are alarmingly growing. Strange things are happening in the Black Country. Kim has to work closely with someone she can‘t even face talking to. Great read, this time almost fully focusing on police work, very little about Kim herself. Dark, heavy, cruel and addictive. 4+ stars

Continuing to enjoy the Kim Stone series!!!💜💜💜

I really loves this installment of the series. It tackled some pretty serious issues, but I think it was done in a good way. I really enjoyed getting more of Stacie in this one. We also get to meet the detectives on D.I Travis's team, which was really interesting. The mystery in this was very time sensitive with high stakes, making it a very quick read/listen.

Love Kim Stone books and this one was no exception - unputdownable!

This book was awesome yet confrontational and scary while beimg so timely. It dealt with hate crimes and motivations behind these crimes and it was hard to read especially knowing that such atrocities continue to be perpetrated against minorities or persons of different religious persausions. Loved it.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There's nothing like a D.I. Kim Stone thriller to get me out of a reading slump! I didn't like this one quite as much as the others in the series, the author shook the characters up a bit & took them out of their comfort zones, but I still sped through this so quickly that my fingertip feels blistered & my Kindle screen is getting a worn spot! Love the characters, the mystery, the action, & the way all the pieces fit together in the end!
