This was so good, I read it in one sitting! Seb and Birdie are asked to investigate a 38 year old case as the murdered woman's daughter didn't belive her father had killed her mother. Well, this case gets bigger and goes deeper than any of them expect. Once again, Sally Rigby has written a page turner, filled with awesome characters, tension and twists and turns aplenty. Brilliant.
Thanks to Netgalley, Storm Publishing, and Sally Rigby for the free ARC. All opinions are my own.

The latest page-turner from Sally Rigby is her best yet. Sebastian Clifford and Lucinda Bird - Seb and Birdie - are fast becoming my favourite private investigators and here they well and truly take centre stage to unravel a complex, compelling plot.
The story is cunning, intelligent and expertly told. It is also poignant and realistic focusing on a possible miscarriage of justice that resulted in an innocent man spending the rest of his life in prison for a crime he did not commit.
The writing is supremely confident and the characterisation absolutely pitch perfect. This is an outstanding addition to a series set in the English Midlands that just keeps getting better and better. It's rare gems like this that make British Crime Fiction the best in the world.
