'Crime fiction at its best.' Keri Beevis

Why does someone want the Lawrence family dead?

The Lawrences were the perfect family: successful, beautiful and happy, until one night their whole world was ripped apart.

Detective Sergeant Jenna Morgan is called to investigate the suspected arson attack and death of the Lawrence family at the charred remains of their stunning home, Kimble Hall.

The case takes a sinister turn as the body count fails to tally.

Suspecting that someone may have survived the inferno, DS Morgan and her team need to discover whether they are looking for a witness, or someone far more dangerous.

Who set the fire? Who wanted this family extinguished beyond recognition?

As the case progresses, DS Morgan realises she has a calculating, cold-blooded killer on her hands, and the race is on to track them down before they kill again...

A gripping psychological crime novel from bestselling author Diane Saxon, perfect for fans of Cara Hunter.

It starts with a horrific shooting ... father, mother, twin girls, young son, teenage daughter. The house was then burned to the ground. But there's something strange .. th ebody count doesn't tally. Is the missing family member a victim... a witness ... or a murderer? Who wanted this family extinguished beyond recognition? It's a riveting cases for DS Jenna Morgan and her efficient team. There were no witnesses that they know of ... no motive ... and no clues as to why. This is a fast-paced page-turner. Action and suspense starts on the very first page and holds steady until the unexpected conclusion. The characters are deftly drawn .. warts and all. Although 3rd in the series, this is easily read as a stand alone, however, I do recommend reading in order ... just to pick up those nuggets that make this an intriguing series. Many thanks to the author / Boldwood Books / Netgalley for the digital copy of this crime fiction. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.

I enjoyed this police procedural/thriller. It had an interesting premise and strong storylines, a strong female kickass main character, hits of humor, interesting and endearing secondary characters, a sociopath for a villain, wizened and amusing octogenarians, and clever animals. I adored the elderly retired farming couple best of all as the mister was my granddad all the way to the ground, but without the accent. The storylines were engaging and throbbed with tension and impending peril as well as family drama and police unit banter and camaraderie. The writing was easy to follow and the plot was active and eventful on all fronts. And it has been a good while since I have been able to add to my Brit Word List and I found a treasure with wassock, which can also be spelled as wazzock. The Oxford English Dictionary defined wazzock as “British slang, originating in the north, meaning a stupid or annoying person - basically an idiot.” I cannot wait to put this little nugget to good use.

Never a dull moment - what a stunning read! I've already downloaded the first two in series to catch up with. Called out in the middle of the night, DS Jenna Morgan finds herself attending a house fire so large and intensive that there is no way to know if the residents were at home or not. When bodies are discovered in the ruins, the count doesn't add up to all members of the Lawrence family who lived there; so who is unaccounted for and where are they? This is an exciting and fast moving story, beautifully crafted, carefully plotted and absolutely packed with action from beginning to end. Personal details are included but nothing takes away from the crime story. There is such a lot happening! As a conscientious officer, Jenna is kept busy as other things need dealt with in her working life, but she never loses sight of the bigger picture. The characters are true to life, the story flows really well and kept me glued all the way through. Thought-provoking and thrilling with a good slice of humour, it adds up to an absolutely superb read. Definitely an author to add to your 'must not miss' read, and I'm delighted to give this all five sparkling stars!
