Ratings and reviews

When the seventh Earl of Lowesdale is found hanging from the rafters at Wasdale Hall, everyone assumes the aging, hard-partying aristocrat had finally had enough of chasing the glory of his youth. But when the coroner finds signs of foul play, DI Kelly Porter is swept into a luxurious world where secrets and lies dominate. At the same time, two young hikers go missing and it’s up to Kelly to lead the search. But digging deeper reveals ties to two other unsolved disappearances and Kelly and her team find themselves in a race against time. This is the third book in the series but can easily be read on its own. I’m really enjoying The Porter novels & sincerely hope there are more to follow. The pace is good & I was drawn in from the beginning & my attention held all the way through. The characters are well fleshed. As well as the two cases for Kelly to solve there’s also 'things' happening in her private life, these all gave me a few hours of immersing myself in the book & left me wanting another book to read in the series My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

These books keep getting better. I'm already looking forward to the next book. Good story lines that keep you wanting to see what happens at the end.

Enjoyed this book, the twists, and turns kept you guessing.
