The first book by this author and it already has me in its grip. At first, I wasn’t aware that this book was part of a series, as the police get involved rather late. I didn’t know that this is the way Nicci French writes, but I don’t mind a new approach. It keeps the story interesting. Here, Maud O’Connor acts like a problem solver; she has to reopen a case that other investigators thought was solved. This approach naturally doesn’t put her in a good place when she arrives at the East Anglian village. Neither the police nor the residents there are very happy to have a foreigner putting its nose into foreign business. So Maud O’Connor has to fight against a strong resentment; it is a matter of endurance and clever police work that gets the results. I move right on to the second case in this series.

Thoroughly enjoyed it

This was so well written, gripping until the end. If another reader knew whodunnit, good on them, I was left completely left in the dark. A harrowing story of cause and consequence, in this case mainly consequence for trifflingly little cause and how it destroyed lives for so, so long. I particularly liked the character of Maud, the chief investigator who didn't let herself be put off by prejudice and mansplaining.
