A skeletal body is unearthed in a wooded area of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. DI James Bliss, together with DC Penny Chandler, investigate the case and discover that the young, female victim had been relocated from its original burial site.A witness is convinced that a young female was struck by a vehicle back in the summer of 1990, and that police attended the scene. However, no record exists of either the accident or the reported victim. As the case develops, two retired police officers are murdered. The two are linked with others who were on duty at the time a road accident was reported.As Bliss and Chandler delve deeper into the investigation, they start to question whether senior officers may have been involved in the murder of the young women who was buried in the woods.As each link in the chain is put under duress, so is Bliss who clashes with superiors and the media.When his team receives targeted warnings, Bliss will need to decide whether to drop the case or to pursue those responsible.Will Bliss walk away in order to keep his career intact or will he fight no matter what the cost?And is it possible the killer is much closer than they imagined?

Well, that‘s typical! First read of the year and first read for #SeriesLove2023 and it‘s not in the database!

Anyway, having read 1-7 of the Bliss series, it was time to pick up this novella-length prequel, focussing on Bliss in his first big case as a Detective. A quick read, adding a bit more background to the grizzled cop.

Andrew65 A good start to #SeriesLove2023. There should be an easy way we can add a book to the database. 2y
TheSpineView Wow! You are off to a fabulous start! 2y

The jury is still out on whether Di Bliss is a likeable character, but as a crime story, this is a competent novel that made me want to keep reading. I worked out who the culprit was well before the end, which is rare for me, but the how and why was as interesting as the who.

Second square of #BookSpinBingo crossed off!
