This is a dark twisted book. It is a fast paced police procedural with strong characterisation. The pace is good. There is quite a lot of swearing in this book.

Totally recommended
This is the third book of this excellent Police procedural series featuring DI Claudia Nunn, well written with superb characterisation throughout. An atmospheric engaging mystery with some shocks and surprises along the way. Whilst there are some references to the previous books this could be read as a standalone story. However there is a running theme carried on from book one, so my advice would be or should that be Maria's advice from The Sound Of Music, start at the very beginning a very good place to start.

Book 3 in the DI Claudia Nunn series. I liked the way that the author wrote mainly in the present tense and then there were chapters where the victims story is told in the past tense that gave insights into the storyline. It was a little slow to start off with but then everything comes together and it’s a gripping read.

Have not read any of Rebecca Bradleys books before but will certainly be going to find them now. Didn't realise this was the third in a series, but was able to read easily as a standalone book.
Loved the characters and a real page turner following a murder at a school reunion.

Third in the series featuring Detective Claudia Nunn. A reunion,secrets from the past,murder and corruption makes for a good read.

I liked the suspense as well as the mystery to the book. I believe that the writer did a good job with giving details of the crimes to enhance the readers imagination. The story spoke a lot on the facts of the story with little action. All in all the book was good.

This is the third book in the series featuring Detective Claudia Nunn. It reads well as a stand-alone but I enjoyed it more with having read the previous books. Claudia is still have counselling and struggling to come to terms with having killed a man. A woman’s body is discovered in a hotel bedroom. Harlow was staying there in a reunion weekend with four other old school friends. Her friends say she was distracted and left the hotel for a while not disclosing where she was going but was obviously meeting someone. Claudia and her team seem to have little to go on and are given extra staff to speed up the investigation. However as Harrow’s past begins to unravel Claudia receives news from the top that most of her team are are being withdrawn. Who is putting the investigation in jeopardy? Not long after one of her team and Claudia herself are targeted. Bit by bit it is revealed what happened to Harlow leading up to her murder and kept me guessing right until the end. I can’t wait for the next book in the series.
Thanks to Netgalley and Joffe books for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is a story about friends getting together for a reunion but there are some secrets going on. Harlow is found murdered and now everyone is a suspect.

This was a good story that kept me interested. I enjoyed the writing and it did pull me in. Good job and I will probably look for more books from this author.

Would really highly recommend this book as a superbly brilliant read. I just loved it, the story , characters and the way each chapter and the story unfolded, so well written. At the end of each chapter you were left shocked, intrigued and couldn’t wait to read the next. Really is a must read.

Number 3 of the Detective Claudia Nunn series and again set in Sheffield

Called out to attend the scene of murder victim Harlow Cunningham Detective Claudia Nunn learns that the victim had bern mysterious all weekend to the annoyance of the friends she was meeting up with but with very little to go with and detectives being removed from the case can Claudia solve and locate the murderer

Princess Fuzzypants here: This is the third book in a series but as I proved, it can be read as a standalone. In fact, it made me want to go back and read the earlier ones. It was a page turner from beginning to end with a wonderful female detective as the protagonist. She is called to a posh Sheffield hotel where a guest has been murdered.

Harlow, the victim, came to Sheffield to host a reunion of her best friends from school. It has been 20 years since they saw each other. They catch up on what has been going on but she does not tell them the second reason she is there. She wants another reunion of sorts- or more precisely to meet up with important people from her past. This will be the first time she has talked to either one and she wants answers. What she does not expect is that her curiosity will be the death of her.

The story goes back and forth from Harlow’s movements from the time she arrived in town to her murder and Claudia’s investigation into her demise. The investigation is churning along well with all hands on deck until the order comes from above that strips Claudia of her entire team except for the two cops she works with the most. One happens to be her father whom she commands. It creates friction exacerbated by her feelings from killing the man who was trying to kill her.

The three continue to dig and it is only after two attempted murders do the “brass” finally acknowledge there is corruption and chicanery and allow the search to go on unhindered. They get the killer but at what cost. Taut and well written, this will have you on the edge of your seat. Five purrs and two paws up.

I had no idea this book was part of a series when I read it however it can be read as a stand alone. A gripping mystery book that I binged in 1 day!

She Knew Her Killer by Rebecca Bradley is the third thriller in the Detective Claudia Nunn series. The story is about friends getting together for a reunion, but there seem to be a few secrets from the past. Harlow Cunningham is found murdered, and her friends are all upset and could be suspects. Harlow did appear to be distracted as she went along with the meetings, plans, and activities. The story is told partially from Harlow's view, and you know she is there with a different motive. As the investigation progresses, Detective Claudia Nunn finds her team sidelined from the case. What is going on? What did Harlow know that caused someone to kill her?
I will say the friends did not seem especially close and all of them had not kept in touch through the years. She Knew Her Killer is a very good mystery/thriller that keeps your interest!
Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for the opportunity to read this book.

She Knew Her Killer is the third book in the Detective Claudia Nunn series (and the second one I have read) and the series continue to thrill me. Of course, it’s always better for character development and longer story arcs to read the books in order however, Rebecca does a great job of going over the information you need and the books also work well as a stand-alone.
I was hooked from the opening chapter. Drawn in by an unknown character and tantilised by a little air of mystery, I couldn’t help but be addicted to this mystery of Harlow, who was attending a reunion with old friends.
I love that this series is set in Sheffield. I’m a Rotherham girl originally (family still are) and I love seeing the North represented in books. And I enjoy when I recognise places and can relate to them.
Police procedurals always fascinate me. I enjoy the process of solving a crime using forensics and detective work and I always find it fun to try and piece the puzzle together with the team and this book really made me feel part of the process by revealing small amounts of evidence and clues throughout. The flashbacks from Harlow’s life also helped give some insight into things but not too much to spoil the mystery and tension.
Added into the mix is the limited number of staff available. As soon as the case begins to make headway, most of the team are pulled onto a different incident, leaving Nunn with only two other detectives, one of who is her father. Nunn is struggling with her relationship with her dad as well as the aftermath of shooting a perpetrator which all add tension and unease.
This is a fabulous crime thriller and a series that is well worth checking out.

She Knew Her Killer is book three of the Detective Claudia Nunn series. This book can be a stand alone since there is back history sprinkled throughout. This is my first by Rebecca Bradley. I was thoroughly engrossed in this book. It is well written and enjoyable as the tension rises with wonderful characters to cheer on.

The story starts out with the murder of Harlow Cunningham. She was meeting up with some friends for a weekend. But the weekend was really a cover for something more personal for her. She is murdered in the first chapter. Det. Claudia Nunn is called in to take charge of the investigation. There is someone pulling the strings of the police making is difficult for them to adequately solve the mystery. As they carry on a member of the team is in danger. They will become more intent on solving the case putting another at risk.

This was a wonderful story. It was intense and riveting while trying to figure out why Harlow was murdered. The story alternated going back in time revealing a few clues from Harlow prior to her murder while the police had little to go on.

Based on the ending, I am hoping there is to be another book. I am looking forward to seeing what happens next for Claudia and her team.

Five old school friends reunited for a weekend in Sheffield. A drunken game of truth or dare. One won’t survive.
The young woman is found murdered in a swanky hotel room. Detective Claudia Nunn gets the text just as she leaves her therapist’s office.
The victim’s friends all say the same thing: she had been distracted and kept disappearing all weekend. And on the Saturday, someone had screamed abuse in her face.
Did she know her killer?
As Claudia closes in on the murderer, the top-brass start closing down the investigation. And the team become the target of violent attacks.
Someone will do anything to stop the truth getting out.
Prepare to be hooked.

This is a wonderful addition to this thrilling series!
Wonderful well written plot and story line that had me engaged from the start.
Love the well fleshed out characters and found them believable.
Great suspense and action with wonderful world building that adds so much to the story.
Such a thrilling read that I couldn't put it down.
Can't wait to read more of these.
Recommend reading.

I read a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review.

I was hooked from the beginning and thoroughly enjoyed this book. The storyline was different and it was well written. I like how Claudia is developing in this series however, I am not too keen on Dominic. The character of Harlow and her backstory was fascinating and I felt such empathy for her.
Thank you Netgalley and Joffre for allowing me to review this book which I thoroughly recommend.

I read this not realising it was part of a series but I don't feel that took anything away from how much I enjoyed it as a standalone.... and I have already gone and downloaded the rest of course! Where to start?! The reunion murder seems to be quite a common theme in thrillers these days but this one definitely stood out for me. It was more than just the friends reuniting and one being kirdered, it's also quite focused on the police procedure and the investigation so to me that put a fresh spin on it and made it that wee bit more than some of the others in this genre. Once it got going then I was so hooked. The narrative is split between the current issues and the past and at no point did they get murky ot confusing, both had a clear narrative and it wad really easy to keep up. The characters were a bit random but then again, some people are!! I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend for those who like police procedural or thriller types

This is book 3 in the di claudia nunn series, gripped me from the first page, a reunion of 4 friends, 1 of them is found murdered in their hotel room, as police try to work out who would want to murder her, her friends all say 'she was distracted'. Cracking read highley recommend

My thanks to Joffe Books, and to NetGalley, for the opportunity to read and review an early copy of She knew Her Killer.

What had Harlow been up to, and is it what got her killed?

She Knew Her Killer is an intriguing and tense thriller with some unexpected twists and turns and it's mostly told from the investigative point of view. I like gutsy Detective Claudia Nunn a lot. She and her team get called out when the body of one of a group of friends visiting for a reunion weekend is discovered murdered. The plot moves forward as the investigation does. Interestingly, the POV of murdered Harlow starts with her murder and then works backward more and more days, giving the reader glimpses into why she was murdered.

Why are the top-brass moving detectives off the case until there are only three people left to investigate it? And why are THEY becoming the target of violent attacks??

I feel She Knew Her Killer can definitely be read as a stand-alone and I recommend it!.

FYI: there is quite a bit of the F-Bomb in this book, for readers who wish to avoid that.
