She Lies in Wait: The gripping Sunday Times bestselling Richard & Judy thriller pick

I adore a good thriller; this is a fantastic new series with a diligent team of detectives and I'm looking forward to reading much more about them! Thirty years ago, Aurora Jackson goes missing after being invited along to a party with her sister and her sister's friends. For thirty long years they all hoped that one day she would turn up but with the discovery of a body, it becomes a murder investigation with local cop, DCI Jonah Sheens and his team taking charge. This is compulsive reading, and one I found myself thinking about when I wasn't actually reading it. Full marks to the author for the way the team deal with the investigation: they work resolutely, sometimes following gut instinct but always - always - following up with solid facts. I began by suspecting no-one and ended with suspecting EVERYONE! Skilfully crafted and beautifully written, this is the first novel by Gytha Lodge which I have come across. However, it most definitely won't be the last, and I really hope she's already working on the next one in this series as I cannot wait! My thanks to publisher Michael Joseph - Penguin UK for my copy via NetGalley. This is my honest, original and unbiased review.

Excellent! I loved the back and forth chapter structure and the plot was great.
