I love this Kate Redman series. In this book, several high profile people are being killed. Kate and her team must put the clues together from incidents that happened years ago. I felt for the young girls when no one would believe them, however seems like revenge was winning now. Kate and Anderton are getting closer in their relationship. Look forward to seeing how they progress. This was fast paced, interesting and enjoyable. Very well written. I could associate with the characters.
I appreciate the advanced copy I received.
I’ve read all books in this series, and they just keep getting better and better! Love the characters and storyline. Makes you want to know what is going to happen next with characters @ end of book, and hope next in series is already in the works!!
Great series
This is a great view into law enforcement in the UK. Especially considering the main character is a strong woman with real family concerns.
Great series
Love these characters
The continuing story of Kate Redman as she deals with her promotion to Inspector and her evolving relationship with Anderton. . All while the police procedural solves two connected murders. Very entertaining and amusing.
Loved this thriller – always a good read

Newly minted DI Kate Redmond picks up her first case following her promotion.
Roland Barry, a retired professor dies a horrible death by stabbing. He lives in the country in an isolated home. No neighbors and he kept to himself pretty much. No one seems to know much about him. The case drags on…
When another death occurs, a woman this time who was strangled, Kate and her team are assigned to that one, too. This lady had a boyfriend and lived in a well populated area. Perhaps the team will have more success in solving this case.
Something is bothering Kate. She begins to wonder if the cases are related. As the investigation continues, it is discovered that a third person was stabbed to death. Could he have known the first two murdered people? What is the connection? A trip to the Lakes area proves quite fruitful for Kate. She finds the connection.
This book is very well written and plotted. I enjoyed seeing the “old gang” again. It has been awhile since I picked up one of Ms. Grace’s novel, and it sure was a treat.The characters are so real, it is as thought the reader personally knows them. I figured out Theo’s “problem” as soon as it came up, but it was nice seeing my suspicions validated. While Kate’s DCI boss was a problem for her and Chloe at first, it seemed to work out okay – at least for Kate. I wish the best for Kate and her ex-copper boyfriend. Oh, and I found the heavy use of “bird” more than a little annoying as did another reviewer. Another thing that bothered me was in the description of the book it says that teacher Roland Barry was much liked and “beloved.” Well, I didn’t read one word about him. In fact, the police weren’t able to gather hardly any information about him.
I have now read all Celina Grace’s Kate Redmond books and I’ve enjoyed them all.
Great entertainment. holds suspense all the way to the end. Neat, familiar characters. True to the series.
Loved it.
Always look forward to another in this series. Excellent characters, interesting plots, and they all tie nicely together and develop realistically. .
Loved this book!
I received an early copy, but enjoyed this so much I bought it as well.
Kate Redman (and the rest of the team) are very convincing. I love the interactions between them, especially as they are from the West Country (like me), so there’s the occasional bit of slang and detail that makes me smile with it’s accuracy
The advantage with the Kate Redman series, is that the crimes aren’t dwelt on, so there’s never any uncomfortable, gratuitous violence – there’s just enough information to make me wonder about the reasoning behind the crime, and the nature of the perpetrator – an unusual level of depth that often isn’t found in thrillers or mystery novels
This is an excellent addition to the series – both Ms Grace’s writing style and the characters mature and improve as the series progresses.
Well done bird – another great addition to the series.
Love this writer. My husband has even become hooked on her writing.
This is a great series….this one just adds to it. Kate is a very relatable character.
Like all of the Kate Redman series. Can’t wait for #12.
I enjoyed this book very much. It was So good, I could barely put it down to go to sleep. I have read all in this series, and they do keep getting better and better! Never stale, or uninteresting. Lots of ‘meat’, and interesting all the way. Treat yourself to a very good reading experience, and enjoy this book!
