Snag Your Copy A Nice Place To Die Composed By Jane McLoughlin Accessible From Digital Format
this book within a morning, I really enjoyed this short read as it was fast paced and centered upon a small community where everyone was linked to one problematic family.
Excellent writing and McLoughlin really knows how to keep a reader wanting to read on, A modern housing estate hides a terrible secret in this gritty crime novel from a respected journalist The scene of a particularly brutal crime back in, the ancient Somerset village of Catcombe has now been transformed into a modern housing estate where the neighbours
keep to themselves, terrorized by the resident problem family.
When a young vicar is savagely beaten to death, DCI Rachel Moody finds it impossible to make headway in the ensuing investigation amid the pervading climate of fear.
But it becomes increasingly clear that more than one resident has something to hide, and a terrible confrontation seems inevitable.
. . She writes well, and I liked the dynamic between the detective and the policeman, but ultimately I don't do gritty urban reality.
