Thank you to Netgalley and Joffe Books for my copy of The Chidham Creek Murders by Pauline Rowson
When I picked this book up I didn't realise it was number 18 in a series. But I soon caught up on the back story and it worked well on it's own,
Set in the Portsmouth area Andy Horton is a DI with a difference, living on a yacht and driving a Harley-Davidson Andy is not your typical copper.
When it comes to solving cases he is instinctive and doesn't stop until he has caught the culprit. This may have been my first book in this series but it won't be my last.
A good read.

Juliette, a funeral celebrant, is found dead in her home. It's been staged to look like a suicide, but the police are skeptical. Apparently, Juliette was very different from what she seemed, and had a rather shady past, which is gradually revealed as more people die in this somewhat slow-moving story line. I’ve enjoyed this author’s writing before, but didn’t realize that this novel was part of a different series—maybe I wouldn’t have had so much difficulty keeping track of the many characters if I had read the earlier DI Andy Horton novels. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.

A secretive celebrant. A multimillionaire heir. A staged murder. The house smells of death. Not rotting flesh, but a mustiness that wraps itself around Detective Andy Horton as he enters. He makes his way to the living room and rapidly takes in the scene…. Good book!! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, a good who done it and a few twists and turns! The story was interesting! It was definitely worth reading but not one of my top favorites! Thank you NetGalley and Joffe books for sharing this book with me!
