This was a really great read which was well written with at times very sad situations and a great insight into the very difficult work faced by the police forces. Frankie and David were great characters and I found their back story very interesting. It was beautifully written with difficult subjects covered with care and sensitivity. It was a tremendous thriller and a real page turner.

Wow, wow, wow.

Frankie and David are back with a bang, I've been eagerly awaiting this next book and boy did it deliver.

Frankie having been promoted ends up back in uniform for a short time, which as this is Frankie doesn't exactly go according to plan, when she arrives on the scene of a rta one evening, things change ina very unexpected way,

meanwhile david is being very shifty and Frankie wants to know what he is hiding from her.

I can't say any more as I don't want to give away any spoilers.

I raced through this book staying up late into the night as I had to finish it.

5 stars

Oh my, I have been waiting all year for Mari Hannah's new novel and boy oh boy I was not disappointed!

Absolutely brilliant. Couldn't put it down and certainly didn't want it to end. Frankie and David are such brilliant characters, love them!

No spoilers, just brilliant writing! Seriously can't wait to read Mari's next one.

Highly recommend.

My thanks to NetGalley and Orion Publishing Group for giving me the opportunity to read an advanced digital copy in return for an honest review.

Stone and Oliver are back for their fifth outing and what an outing. Oliver has been promoted and must return to uniform whilst working in Berwick on Tweed. Whilst there she finds herself heading a team to investigate a gang who are trading in vulnerable people, children in particular. Stone overhears a conversation which may help him solve an old case, the murder of Frankie Oliver's sister.

Prepare yourself for plenty of tension, with emotions running high over whether there is something more than just a working relationship between the pair. If you love police procedural then this gets a great big tick. If you love well written, character driven crime novels this gets another big tick and is a must read if you love the North East of England,

There is no northern author better then Mari Hannah, she delivers with every novel. When will we see these on TV......that's the big question.
