Loved, loved, loved this book!! The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill is such a breath of fresh air. Told from Grace’s perspective and the work she does for those people who lay for months undiscovered. There is a dark twist which seems perfectly plausible to Grace. One boom you can devour in the day.
With 2 dead ex-cons, DI Kelly Porter and team are brought into investigate and interview staff and prisoners of Highton prison. She finds more questions than answers and fears corruption is at play. I have not read all of the DI Porter series, but you can easily step in it without feeling you have missed out on any background. An enjoyable, easy read.

Sisters Tennant and Sophie live in an isolated community in the mountains, while outside checking rabbit traps, when their fathers pushed them into a trapdoor. When they resurface, the whole community has disappeared. FBI and other specialists are brought in to figure out what the incident that occurred was. More sci-fi horror than crime that I would normally read. I did struggle with the plot and length of the book but an interesting plot.

Cousins and writing partners TJ and Jane attend a 20 school reunion back in hometown Ketchum. They are greeted by old friend and long time stalker, Lincoln. It’s been 2o since they last all saw their friend Evie who went missing in the woods referred to as the Thicket. I struggled with this book which was rather sci-fi than crime and not my usual genre of book. Also seemed quite a long story, but perhaps this may be because of the genre. I’m sure sci-fi fans will enjoy this story.
DS Lucy McVeigh and sidekick DC ‘The Dunk’ Fraser have been investigating The Bloodsmith and his murders for the last 17 months with little to go on. At the same time as revisiting old crime scenes, recently released child killer, Benedict Strachten needs Lucy’s help. A unique standalone crime thriller with plenty of twists, the last quarter of the book goes to an all time new level. Quite a long book, but leads up to an epic ending. Persevere!
