This was such a great book. I was hooked from the opening lines until the very last embers of the plot.. this is a murder mystery of being looked into 20 years after the death. The police let the family down the first time and Lockyer wants to make sure that this time the job is done right. So much is going on in the background with awkward neighbours, senile old ladies, a partner who has a complicated private life and fraud and theft left right and centre. The book ploughs on with twists and turns that I discovered along with the police and loved every minute of it. bring on the next book.

Fast becoming one of my favourite police procedural series, Hollow Grave hits all the right notes- a clever twisty mystery, a continuance of the lives of regular characters and terrific writing.

You can read this without reading the others but my recommendation would be to go in order. However the author does a good job of making it accessible if you wish to dive right in.

I'm.a fan of the police duo at the heart of this series and I'm a fan of how clever all the mysteries are and Hollow Grave is no different. Intelligent plotting, page turning quality and unexpected moments. Can't ask for much more really.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quercus for my copy of Hollow Grave by Kate Webb.
An enjoyable read. I hadn’t read the previous two in the series but I picked it up as I went along, and it worked fine as a standalone.
Will definitely be looking out for the next book in the series.
