pickGood stuff. I‘ve read the 2nd, 3rd & 4th books in this series and went back to read the 1st. Sometimes that‘s a disappointment as the author is still forming the characters and they don‘t quite add up with their future selves. Ben Kitto leaps out as himself straight away here though and stuff that turns up in later books is seeded here too. Really well done.
I'm super late with my March #bookspin list but I haven't peeked at the numbers posted by @TheAromaOfBooks yet I promise. It's pretty much the same as last month with one book I read replaced by its sequel, two books added that are lying around the house, and two books that I'm still reading left on the list.
pickThank you @Lizpixie for alerting me to this crime thriller set in the Isles of Scilly. I really enjoyed it!
After an incident, Ben Kitto returns home to the tiny island of Bryher, to consider his future as an undercover officer. But the disappearance of a local teenager finds him unexpectedly leading a murder investigation, and uncovering the islanders‘ secrets.
Two short-ish reads from the Audible 2for1 sale - I‘m very excited by these!
pickMy 1st book of April is done! I really enjoyed this new-to-me series about DI Ben Kitto, on leave from the London Met Undercover Murder Squad after the death of his partner. Returning to the Scilly Island of Bryher to recuperate, he‘s drawn into an investigation after a young girls body is found washed up on the beach near his family home with a knife wound in her chest. I loved the setting & the characters. #LitsyAtoZ2020 #LetterR #PopSugar20
Bk5 in my #QuarantineLibraryHaul is another 1st in a series. DI Ben Kitto is burnt out after 10 years on London‘s Murder squad. Persuaded to take a leave of absence rather than resign, he returns home to the tiny Scilly island of Bryher to work in his uncles boatyard. But his convalescence takes a backseat when the body of a teenager is found on the beach at Hell Bay. Her killer is still on the island after a two day storm stops all ferries.
so-soDI Ben Kitto returns to the island where he grew up and becomes embroiled in a murder inquiry. The book is well written and the story line keeps you guessing, I just didn‘t warm to the main character. I definitely want to adopt Shadow 🐕 though. Rating: 3 ⭐️
Thanks to Netgalley and publishers, Simon & Schuster UK, for the opportunity to review an ARC.
