Robert Bryndza and his wonderful creations, Kate and Tristan, have done it again - delivered a clever mystery with plenty of twists and details. The characters are, as always, completely credible and the careful handling of the interactions at the end of the novel are really well done. Robert Bryndza has created a compelling world here and each book in this series just adds to his well earned reputation as one of today’s foremost crime writers. Taking his place next to the likes to Robotham and Billingham, Robert Bryndza never fails to deliver.

In the fourth Kate Marshall thriller, the PI is recuperating from a near death experience when she almost drowns during a swim. While at the hospital, Kate strikes up a conversation with Jean, another patient who talks about her then three year old grandson, who disappeared on a camping trip eleven years before. Kate agrees to take on the case, to try to what happened to the kittle boy, but she soon discovers that Jean didn’t tell her everything. Something in Jean’s past could be the reason the little boy was taken – or worse. I love this series, Kate is a strong and believable character who doesn’t shy from dark or ugly cases, she does what needs doing to solve her case
