An ok book
Unemployed the book but so many characters, switching from first names to surnames, even nicknames, t got very confusing, then suddenly all over in a letter of confession. Not as good as the other two books. -
A fine set of mysteries, full of red herrings and side trails. After many twists and turns, the final twist in each is a surprise, and yet totally believable because so many hints have been planted amongst the the false or misleading ones. I failed to figure out whodunnit, but enjoyed the trip. The main characters' interesting interactions in their private lives add depth to the experience.

Close to home
Good series! I really Empathize with the main character having Lost my wife In recent years. So in some ways it was a little bitter sweet Having experienced a lot of the loss. But that withstanding it is not the main reason why I like the series it's all well written good characters And sometimes kept me guessing. -
The first two books in this set were excellent. However the third suddenly lost momentum and I felt I'd missed a chunk of something happening along the way.
It's certainly not put me off the Detective Inspector Drummond books and I'm off to get my next instalment.
Cleverly written and leave you wanting more. -
Excellent trilogy
This trilogy is extremely well-written and has an intriguing central character in D.I. Siv Drummond. All the other characters are well drawn , in particular SUV’s mother who is authentically awful. -
Good twists
This was a three book package. Each book spent time in developing the characters. Good interaction between personal life and police life.
The Plot of each book kept your interest right to the end. -
Sad it ended, great characters, I want more of this please!

Have really enjoyed first two books in series, looking forward to renewing my acquaintance with Siv Drummond in the third book.
