*4 Stars*

Copy kindly received via NetGalley for an honest review.

This was my first book by this author, on recommendation from someone else. I enjoyed the mystery behind this, although it probably took me more than half of the book before I truly got into it without easily getting distracted. There are many different characters and things happening, and I think it took me a bit to get my head around it all. This might be because I haven't read any previous books in the series, I'm not sure.

The serious issues in this one took a big turn and I wasn't expecting the culprit to be who it ended up being. Many moving parts in this storyline and some emotional sections that just make you realise how disgusting and sick some people truly can be. Whilst it's fiction, it's crime fiction, and these things happen in the real world too unfortunately. I liked Lottie and her bulldog style of detective work, and I definitely would read more from this series.
