I did not want this book to end but there is the paradox of just wanting to turn the next page to find out what happens.
This second novel by Mari Hannah with the central character of Kate Daniels is set in Northumberland, Newcastle upon Tyne and County Durham. It starts with the murder victim being found at Housesteads on Hadrians Wall, an area I know well and walk my Border Terrier. That’s the other attraction, Kate likes Border Terriers and rides a motorbike, a fancy I have too.
I like reading books where I can picture the setting. The Boilerhouse, a hairdressers in Jesmond is mentioned and I had been on the same road just the day before!

The story line is intricate, keeps you guessing and anyone with a degree of compassion becomes concerned about one of the characters. Kate Daniels is passionate about her job, resourceful and respected by her colleagues.
I like Mari’s writing style, it is descriptive with chapters that are just the right length.
I can hardly wait for the next Kate Daniels instalment.
