annarella 's review for:

Solstice of Death by Laurence Anholt
5.0

The mysteries featuring Shanti and Caine are becoming a favorite. This is the second I read and it was a well plotted, compelling and entertaining read that I couldn't put down.
The force of this book is the relationship between the two detective: Shanty is no-nonsense woman who play by the book, Caine is more emotion driven and spiritual.
Their emotions and this differences make them a strong investigative couple.
The mystery is fascinating and there's a lot red herrings, suspects, and questions. It's a puzzle and a sort of locked room mystery even if the room is not locked
I hope there's going to be a lot of other books in this series, this one is strongly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
