DISCOVER AN ABSOLUTELY GRIPPING MURDER MYSTERY SET IN THE YORKSHIRE DALES.
Detective Mike Nash thought that moving back to Yorkshire from London would give him a quieter life. Little did he know . . .
Gunshots ring out across the fields, followed by the sound of crashing rocks. Four bodies are soon discovered buried beneath a rockfall in an abandoned lead mine — along with an automatic pistol.
Meanwhile, Nash’s team investigates the murders of three criminals, part of a group known as the Country House Bandits. Four were due to be released from prison and expected to come home to substantial rewards for their silence.
But the first man is stabbed to death in his cell. The second is killed days after his release. And the third is attacked on his way home.
The fourth man disappears without a trace.
What links the lead mine murders to the slaying of the Country House Bandits? And where is the fourth man?
With the body count rising, Nash and his team are pushed to the limit to find a ruthless killer.
DISCOVER AN ABSOLUTELY ADDICTIVE CRIME THRILLER WITH A STUNNING TWIST.

My Review
This is the first book in this series that I have read so I can confirm it works very well as stand alone although, like me, you will probably want to read the previous books to see what you missed.
Bodies are found in a disused mine following the sound of gunshots and Detective Nash soon realises that the 2 bodies are just the beginning of what will turn out to be a very testing case.
Lots of twists and turns and an abundance of red herrings and curve balls to make this a gripping twisty turny read that had me second guessing all the way through. Is it ***? No must be ***, no wrong again. The ending is not what I expected at all.
Given this was the first book I had read I did find the characters easy to get to know and they all fit the story well. Some parts I am unsure about, for me it could have flowed better and was a bit descriptive in parts but overall a very enjoyable read that is perfect for anyone who likes Crime Fiction.
Many thanks to the author and Joffe Books for the advance digital copy.
