This was a fab read featuring mortuary technician Cassie Raven who has a special relationship with some of the bodies she attends as part of her duties. The latest one is rising pop star Brontë who Cassie knew from her school days and although the evidence points to suicide Cassie has her doubts.

This has a great balance of Cassie’s own life and investigations into Bronte’s death as well as chapters told from the point of view of former detective Flyte which offers a solid police procedural side to the story. The story unfolds really well and the discoveries that reveal this is a murder investigation and the key characters are very intriguing, I was especially fascinated with DI Bacon as he had unexpected depths. The culprit was unexpected and the reason was tragic, especially the effect it had on others. Will definitely look out for the next in series. 9/10
