A Quandary..
The seventh outing for DI Winter Meadows finds the detective in a quandary when human remains are discovered that may, or may not, belong to his father. He knows the area and people well, after all he grew up there, and his father disappeared when he was a teenager. Whilst he is taken off the case his own personal investigations continue - but is someone out to make sure that he doesn’t succeed? With twists and turns aplenty, a well drawn cast of characters and a firm sense of place this is another successful entry in the series.

When a body is found on land belonging to the Commune where DI Winter Meadows grew up he knows he will have to step back a bit. However when suspicion seems to be coming close to home & the senior members of the group are only really willing to talk openly to Winter, it looks like this is going to be a tricky case.

This was a twisty whodunit that, just when you thought you knew what was what another surprise appeared. I loved the setting & found the characters easy to become involved with. It was a great read. I can't believe DI Winter Meadows has slipped under my radar & this is book seven in the series. I'll definitely be looking out for the next one. Thanks to Netgalley & the publisher for letting me read & review this book.

An interesting take on an historic and unsolved murder. Descriptions of commune life in the Welsh countryside are well-developed and contrast nicely with the so-called normal way of life. Characters are also well-developed even if it took me a while to work out who was who. There is a lot of mystery attached to the main characters and their subsequent choices to joint the commune. There is the expected tension between the two groups and the main detective sits, sometimes uneasily, between the two. The play out with the escalating deaths keeps up the tension. A good read once the reader had 'got into it' Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy.
