Two men are found murdered and it all ties to a years-ago death of a young woman.

Siv Drummond is in charge of her very fine team. She is more than a little chagrined when she finds out that her mother has moved in with her boss, Mortimer. Then, her usual partner Ali faces a crisis in the middle of the investigation.

It turns out to be a very complicated investigation. There are no suspects, then there are many. No one seems to be telling all they know. The identity of the killer turns out to be a complete surprise.

Ms. Mulrooney writes very well. Her characters are fully fleshed out and interesting. This book is perhaps her best so far. I very much look forward to the next in this series.

I want to thank NetGalley and Joffe Books for forwarding to me a copy of this very fine book for me to read, enjoy and review. The opinions expressed here are solely my own.

Another late night where I have found myself stuck in a book that I don’t want to put down.

Although this is the third instalment the author has written this so well that you wouldn’t realise. What starts as a strange murder - the body left with wreaths on the steps of the local crematorium. Then a missing person - the story twists and turns rapidly where you find yourself thinking alongside the main character, Siv - how are the murdered linked??

A cracking good read - and looking forward to reading more of this author’s work.

An intriguing murder mystery mostly centered around a Victorian cemetary and the characters who work there. The prologue features the death of a young girl.
Another exciting though sad case for DI Siv Drummond. I loved the references to Walthamstow Wetlands and Lockwood Reservoir.
In all well thought out, with plenty of surprises.

This book had a decent storyline, it had intrigue, suspense, and a great who done it that had you guessing till the end! While I did enjoy reading this book, my mind wandered off quite a bit, so I couldn't give it more stars . I definitely think its worth reading, its just not one of my top favorites! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
