Her Sister’s Killer by Mari Hannah.
Coming 6 March 2025
This is no. 5 in the Stone and Oliver police procedural series. It certainly can be read as a standalone but I think it would be more rewarding to read the first novels in the series – just so that the well formed characters continue to shine through.
In 1992 Frankie Oliver’s sister was found murdered. No-one was found guilty of her death and now David Stone has become privy to a conversation which might just throw some light on the case. He chooses to take another look at the case without really alerting anyone to his activities and as the story evolves, the implications of his decision begin to become clear. This really could upset the balance of their relationship….
Frankie has gained a promotion and spends a lot of time up in Berwick and when she discovers a distressed little boy, she knows that she has stumbled on a human trafficking ring.
The author is adept at creating banter and interchanges between her characters, which feel authentic and relatable.
The sense of place is good as the characters travel around Northumberland, up to Berwick and then down to areas within the city of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Please wait...
