It was okay. Some bits very good, some not as interesting to me.

I received a free pre-publication copy of this book from Netgalley.

The cover of this book really made me want to read it. Colin Taylor spent his honeymoon on the Isles of Scilly. When he got back, he was offered the chance to transfer there for his job as a policeman. He had fond memories of his time in Scilly and patrolling the small, peaceful community appealed to him so he took up the post.

The book felt a little slow to get into at the beginning. For me, and I am someone who always reads introductions/prologues etc, I felt that the introductory chapter wasn’t that good and did restart it and give it another chance. It seemed to settle into it after this and I was enjoying it………and then it would ‘go off’ again.

It’s a quiet area, not much is happening: Ok, it’s great that it’s a low crime area but I guess I’m more used to reading true crime, the extremes of things criminals will do. This is much lighter-so, not as book-worthy to me. Of course it will be of interest to many people-and I did learn about an area I knew nothing about. There are some lightly humorous moments but I did struggle with this. It did get more interesting and provide a few light chuckles. It was okay-some bits were good and interesting, but sometimes it just didn’t hold my interest.
