I must firstly apologise for the amount of time it has taken me to provide a review of this book, my health was rather bad for quite some time, something that had me in hospital on numerous occasions and simply didnt leave me with the time I once had to do what I love most.

Unfortunately that does mean I have missed the archive date for many of these books, so It would feel unjust throwing any review together without being able to pay attention to each novel properly.

However, I am now back to reading as before and look forward to sharing my honest reviews as always going forward. I thank you f0r the patience and understanding throughout x

Robyn Adams, a criminal psychologist, is in a sort of shambles due to her last case resulting in attempt on her life. Robyn receives a call from her cousin Vicky stating her husband, Simon, is dead, he was found on the beach, That is when she begins her journey back to the coastal village to help Vicky. She begins to investigate Simon's murder but things aren't always what they seem. She faces resistance from the local police and gets threatening notes; someone wants her gone.

Oh what a thrill this one was! I enjoyed the plot and the writing.

Love this book! So hard to put it down! Through a series of twists and turns you follow Robyn as she heals from her last case, repairs family relationships and helps investigate her cousins husbands murder. Starts with a slow burn and keeps you hooked until the very end.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Thank you NetGalley, P L Kane and HarperCollinsPublishers Ltd. for hearing my honest review. Looking forward to reading more with you

I was greatly looking forward to this one and ended up not liking it much at all. It turns out it's at least the second in a series and while it can be read as a standalone I do prefer to read all previous books. It was also very slow and meandering, and that's not my style at all. Unfortunately this one was a miss for me. Sorry!

Great thriller that kept me turning the pages. Great story, great writing and characters. Really enjoyable and would read this author again.

Her Husband’s Grave is a fast-paced thriller. The concept was great however, it fell a bit flat for me. I was hoping Robyn’s profession would be a bigger part of the story; where it helped her open doors, I was hoping she would use her skills on a regular basis. I enjoyed the writing style, it was the reason I kept reading, it was like P.L knew when I was starting to lose interest, a new twist was thrown in which hooked me. The characters were interesting, especially Robyn; she was complex, and at times so frustrating. The story is told in multiple POV from several characters, which was random and at times threw me off but it added so much insight into the story. Overall, it’s a good book, with some interesting twists and turns.

This is a psychological, suspense thriller (my fave genre). It follows Dr Robyn Adams, a criminal psychologist who has worked with the police to catch some of the UK's most notorious serial killers. She is recovering from a recent traumatic event linked to one of these killers, when she gets a called from her estranged cousin Vicky. Vicky's husband has been found dead and she desperately needs Robyn's help. Reluctantly Robyn travels back to her home town of Golden Sands, desperately wanting to help her cousin, but dangerously unaware of the trouble she's about to find herself in.

This is a great crime thriller which I really enjoyed. I like Paul's writing style very much, there's lots of description to the seaside town of Golden Sands and it really helped to set the scene. I enjoyed Robyn's character, she's definitely a little bit broken as she's been through an awful lot, and I liked how her past experiences gave a gritty edge to her character.

This isn't the sort of murder mystery you'll be able to figure out. The author takes you down so many different avenues that you won't get an inkling of who dunnit until it's upon you, and that's a rare thing in my opinion!
I got some Ann Cleeve's vibes from this book, it might have been the seaside setting, but I love Ann Cleeves so that was a big thumbs up for me.

This was gritty in places, but not hugely scary so I'd recommend it if you enjoy murder mysteries, but don't like too much horror.

I'm afraid I gave up on this, I stuck with it for a few chapters but reading it became a chore. Lifes too short for books you dont enjoy.

Robyn agreed to help her cousin Vicky look into the disappearance of her husband Simon but at what cost? Robyn, a psychologist, has, ahem issues, No one in the village wants her help but who wants her gone? Not a particularly surprising reveal but the characters, albeit also standard, are actually well done. Thanks for the ARC.

Thank you for providing me a copy of this book.
I run out of time so sorry I wasn't able to finish this.

This book had me intrigued, however, it's not one I'd rush to read again. The plot of the story was good and included some content that I didn't expect to appear. The reveal of the killer completely surprised me purely in the sense of it just didn't seem like that big of a deal to me and I thought could of been someone else. I liked how you get to read the story from each characters perspective and also how it goes back to a particular moment in time to giving a build up.

Firstly a big thanks to Netgalley and the Author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed this book but it was far from a standout for me and I fearr it will soon be forgotten amognst many other "thrillers" on my goodread shelf and should I pick it up in the library I'd have to reread my review to work out if I had indeed read it. All in all it was just a bit forgettable.

There are a lot of POVs in the story which make for a juddery dialogue and interrupted the flow.

Secondly -Dr Robyn Adams is a somewhat cliched criminal psychologist (think alcohol/ drug dependency issues, damaged from her previous case, emotionally stunted etc etc) returning home to
the small coastal village who most certainly did not want an "outsider" interfering in the investigation..

I did find the suspense was minimal with personal and family relationships as a central theme, often priorities over the crime which became a bit frustrating and prevented a decent build up of tension. Nothing particularly wring with the book itself just not a lot unique or memorable either.

This was a very standard, yet enjoyable thriller. There were the traditional elements of a thriller, protaganist with a troubled past, murder in the small town that the protaganist if from, and local cops who aren't interested in help from big ciy hotshots. There were also twists and turns that I didn't predict, which made this an enjoyable read, even if you read thrillers like it's your job.

I love a thriller that i just cannot unpuzzle for the life of me, when i was invited onto this tour, i was beyond excited and i was right. It was a great read.

When Robyns cousin calls asking for help, despite having not seen each other for years - she is family and goes to her aid. Vickys husband has been found dead and buried on the beach, a place that once held such fond memories for the cousins as they grew up. Robyn is determined to help solve this case after all she has the experience of supporting the police.

Its not as simple as that, as things often are. She is met with people who think she is of no aid to them, her own problems from before and the fact someone really doesnt want her there digging around.

This was really clever, i felt like it kept me hooked until the very end, i literally could not put it down. As a reader, in hindsight the hints are there, but there is no way i was getting the answers on my own.

The characters were flawed with their own issues they were battling and i enjoyed that, they had so many other emotions other than grief to deal with as the cousins tried to reunite. The cast of supporting characters are all well developed and all have a relevant part to the story. The narrative itself in places was dark and very very twisty. I really think this is one people should be checking out because its not like anything else. I really felt in the dark with this and for me that is what made it such an enjoyable reading experience.

I was gifted my copy for the blog tour.

I found this crime book really interesting I'm not sure if its in a series but it read like it was. The main protagonist Robyn is called by her cousin Vicki and informed Vicki's husband has died and she needs her Robyn is a doctor of psychology and she has worked with the police on serial killer cases in the past and is still recovering from her last investigation

The book is really well written we flip between past and present and the past really adds to the present storyline. Robyn isn't wanted on the case by the local police but she pulls strings to get involved she somehow ends up completely tangled up within the investigation

Viki is a broken women and her grief is written really well She is trying to find ways to manage her grief aswell as raise her child mia at the same time. She is completely jealous of Robyns hot shot life yet Robyn is equally as jealous of Vicki's life.

A great story about love hurt betrayal commitment and family aswell as trying to find out who the murderer was. I felt like there were so many suspects I was changing my mind every few chapters. The book really kept me on my toes. I must say it got a bit wierd nearer the end but it felt like a natural progression of the craziness of the story.
Good crime book. Recommend and happy yo give 4 stars.


Thanks to netgalley the author and publisher for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my fair and honest review

This book starts off really slow , but it did pick up. It struggled to keep my attention, and I found the characters hard to connect to. It was predictable in some areas. Overall I would say it was ok. I liked it but I didnt love it.

A multi POV thriller that finds a criminal psychologist at the point of burnout accepting a request to assist the investigation into her estranged cousin's husband's murder. The biggest problem is the request came from her cousin, not the investigating law enforcement agency. Each of the characters is well defined, the well worn psychologist, her secret admirer, the grieving widow and her young daughter all play a big emotionally charged part in the story along with comments from the killer (?) that pull the reader back and forth as the story progresses. The tension remains high as we watch the characters move closer to a deadly meeting. It was a surprise when the killer is revealed.

I tried to read this. I did. I just could not connect with the characters who seemed to embody every problem in the world. I don't like people with loads of issues - addictions, chemical imbalances, non-functioning adults... This book has it all. The characters were just too unpleasant to get past to enjoy the story.

Her Husband’s Grave begins with a body being found buried on a beach. The victim’ s wife, Vicky, asks her cousin, whom she has not seen in a while, to help solve the murder case. The cousin, Robyn, is a criminal psychologist who is dealing with her own demons. I was not immediately drawn into this book and the only character I enjoyed was Robyn’s cousin’s daughter, Mia. The plot moves slowly and I did lose interest at times. The ending was ok. . Thank you to P L Kane and NetGalley for affording me the opportunity to read this novel. Two and 1/2 stars.

I was too much of a fan of this one. It might have been more interesting if the characters were more likeable. Unfortunately this one wasn’t for me.
