RIVER OF BODIES by Nicola Clifford.
When a woman is found drowned in her workplace after a flood, and a man shot dead near her, the police have an obvious line of inquiry.Given she was meant to be on a night out with girlfriends, but was rather galivanting with another man, fingers quickly point at a jealous husband.
But not all is as it seems. When the woman’s life is explored, it is discovered that she was involved in illicit activity with her brother, who is now nowhere to be found. With the police clutching at straws, once again investigative reporter Stacey Logan begins to uncover the truth about the case. But led on by a maverick ex-cop with a death wish, Logan could well end up in serious danger herself.
Really good read. Twisty. Made me think. 5*.

I loved the premise of this book and it didn't disappoint. Plenty twists and secrets being revealed. The characters were well written and I have literally spent all day just immersed in this story and trying to figure out what's gone on. It gets under your skin and won't let up until its all been explained. Cleverly written with plenty of things to keep you guessing

Having read all of Nicola Clifford previous books I was delighted to receive this arc through net galley and the publishers.

Set in my local area of mid wales I can recognise so many of the places mentioned. We catch up with Stacey and Ben again as Ben tries to solve a couple of murders and Stacey as a journalist does her own sleuthing. Along with jack, Heidi and Erica it is like catching up with old friends.

I really enjoyed this latest instalment and raced through it eager to find out who had done it and why. I will be looking forward to any more books Nicola Clifford writes.

4 stars

Are two dead bodies the result of a fateful tryst or something even more sinister?
Great story the way through pace that kept me wanting to keep reading like crazy
