Wolf Border | Sarah Hall

She's a good writer, a long book but didn't feel so.
Rachel is tasked with wolf reintroduction and thus follows the tale, the relationships she encounters and her own journey in all of this. I like how it all works together, her career path kind of exists with the borders of her family life and the friends she makes within this world. Lots of metaphorical links here, really made me appreciate her thoroughness.

Another intriguing and confusing addition to the series. Confusing, in a good way, as you're never sure what will happen next. Lots of character development for Lynly and Havers as well.

Do I have 2 successive books to read afterwards? Also, yes.
Do I regret bringing home another stack? Absolutely not. 😂

This is becoming a favourite series, and in book 4, poe is dragged from the court case about his house to assist Mi5 in an investigation set around a world leader summit in Cumbria. As poe and Tilly Bradshaw are drawn into a Web of intrigue, the mystery goes into events in Iraq 20 years earlier. This was my weekend reading and a definite page turner.

Tamra Nothing better than a page turner! 11mo

DS Washington Poe returns in the fourth book of the series. The case of a man found beaten to death in a backstreet brothel in Carlisle pulls Poe & Tilly away from almost certain victory in Poe's court case fight to keep his home. It seems that they have been specifically requested by higher powers (MI5) to investigate the case, but as they are drawn deeper into the investigation, it becomes clear that someone is putting roadblocks in their way.

OutsmartYourShelf Most of the gang is still around: Tilly of course, FBI Agent Melody Lee returns in a greater capacity in this book, whilst characters such as DCI Nightingale have walk-on parts this book. Unfortunately there's no DI Flynn who is still recovering from the events of the previous book & very little Edgar (Poe's dog) either. Again the plot is rather complex & as events unfold, things don't go the way you expect. 13mo
OutsmartYourShelf Although it was good & the friendship between Poe & Tilly is as funny as ever, it didn't quite live up to the first three books in my view. I was actually able to work most of it out for a change. 4.5🌟

Beautifully written, atmospheric read that paints a vivid picture of a small village and what happens when modernity and progress come calling. It‘s a story about passion, forbidden love, family, and consequences. The pace is slow, the writing occasionally dense but I found myself drawn into the character‘s lives and the anxiety of knowing that everything is about to change and none of it is in your control. A wonderful book.

P4: The last 40 years on the land were revolutionary and disrupted all that had gone before for thousands of years—a radical and ill-thought-through experiment that was conducted on our fields.
