I had never read anything by Peter Robinson before I snagged this ARC in the LibraryThing Early Reviewers Program. I am pleased to say that I have found another author that I enjoy reading.
The story opens with a quadripalegic woman being murdered near Whitby. A young girl is also murdered in Eastvale. The murders don’t seem to have too much in common at first but as the lead detectives Annie Cabbot and Alan Banks begin investigating, their paths seem to keep crossing and going back to a case they worked together years before and it soon becomes evident that there are ties going back even further, almost twenty years.
This story grabbed my interest at the beginning and it kept it all the way through to the end. Some things that happened were not a surprise to me but I cared enough about the characters that it didn’t matter if I lost the element of surprise a little. I really enjoyed the side stories of what was happening in Annie and Alan’s lives and even though I didn’t know their whole history, I didn’t feel lost. I enjoyed this book a lot and will look for more by this author.(4/5)
