I missed the first book but that wasn't a problem. This is a well plotted procedural with a good protagonist in Kat Ballantyne, She's a dogged investigator who must deal not only with a really rotten villain but also her own life- and she does it well. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC, A good read,

A good suspense, action packed story I thought definitely worth reading. Has a gripping plot and good characters in it,
The suspense will keep you turning pages..Looking forward to more in this great series, that is well written.
Given arc by Net Galley and Thomas Mercer for my voluntary review

3.5 stars

An enjoyable 2nd addition to the series.
It felt pretty straightforward.
Find a body, rule it murder, find the killer.
Couple of suspects, and what seemed like good leads. No over the top wild cards.
As with the first book, I'm liking Kat's mostly uncomplicated home life, though she has a decent amount of baggage.
Definitely a series I'll follow.

I love the Kat Ballantyne character and enjoyed the story, I would recommend the novel. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the book.

Great book!! I am loving this series!! They do end in a somewhat cliffhanger! This book had great suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a great who done it and some crazy twists and turns! The storyline was very interesting and kept me glued to my kindle! I highly recommend reading this book and series! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
For DS Kat Ballantyne, finding the murderer might mean looking closer to home. DS Kat Ballantyne is still reeling from a revelation that turned life as she knew it upside down. But when a dog walker discovers the body of a woman among the standing stones known locally as the Three Sisters, there’s no time to focus on her own troubles. Kat is drawn back to work to investigate!
