My Review


Again I am thrilled to be a part for the Blog Tour for this next instalment in this series can you believe this is number 15!! I loved the last released at the end of 2019 (see my review link below )



and I could not wait to get stick in to this one!


Just a heads up although this amazing series has had so many wonderful outings this book as many of the series works as a standalone read too.


Back with characters that just feel so real and familiar it again feels like coming home.


In This read we find that Geraldine and Ian have finally become an couple (thank goodness!) after Geraldine's move to York in the last book.


Together at work and home will this new relationship blossom? Complications come from keeping their relationship a secret from the rest of the team although rumours are rife! how long can they keep this up?.


Add to this a complex murder or two and we have to recipe for a thrilling and compelling tale backed with drama and action!


As always this book was a wonderful read, Leigh Russell and the steel series are synonymous with been a class act in police procedural writings, thrilling and packed with twists and turns this read stood up to the books before and this series just gets better and better!


I sped through this read and yet again am left gasping for more! I am already ready for number 16 in the series and cannot wait!
