Blood in the Sand
Amazon.com link
My review -
A
rich widow apparently overdoses on her insulin and falls to her death from her
balcony. Things are just too perfect, though. Can it really have been an
accident? This is just the beginning of an increasing body-count for DCI Jack
Le Claire. The holiday island of Jersey suddenly has a surfeit of ‘blood on the
sand’
This
author and her books have been on my radar for some time but I’ve not had a
break in my reading schedule until now. I bought this and read it – devoured it
– in two days. The story is complex, interesting, plausible and exciting. It’s
peopled with three-dimensional characters who are so real, so human, that you
can’t immediately say who is the perpetrator. Everyone has some financial need
or some family feud and it’s only right at the end that the tangle is sorted out.
I enjoyed it immensely and I’m going to do what I very rarely do and
immediately buy Book 2 in this series.
Highly
recommended.
