I love Detective Norman and his fellow coppers, they work so very well together. This is a wonderfully twisty read filled with lies, misconceptions, and some fun as well. Great series.

Another very enjoyable installment in this outstanding procedural populated by the very best sorts of coppers (well, most of them). There's just enough flashes of comic relief in that about the time something disturbing happens in the case, something silly happens to one of the squad. The whole team work hard under budget constraints and muddy weather but are a really cohesive unit that doesn't get hung up on egos. It's set in an interesting part of the Great Britain, and has devious red herrings plus fantastic plot twists! Loved it!

I loved the first book I read in this series, and this latest book has sealed the deal, I'm a fan. I love the characters, the twists, the setting in Wales, and the cozy mystery feel to this police procedural. The novel is fast-paced, the writing flows well, and it's hard to put down. Honestly, if you're not into dark and gritty, this is one of the best police procedural series I've read in a while. Not as light-hearted as Hamish MacBeth series, but a serious contender for best small-town police procedurals.
