The third in the Edinburgh-set police series featuring DI Helen Birch (although somehow I missed out on the second one!). Every family has secrets, and as Birch and her colleagues delve into the case of the missing parents of the rather unsavoury Robertson Bennet, it takes on ever-more darker aspects. Solid, with an enjoyable cast of characters, but still after reading 2 of these I can't quite warm to our central character. Nonetheless, a good addition for fans of this developing series. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

'Stunning' - Sunday Times Claire Askew won the Scottish Debut Crime Award with her debut All the Hidden Truths, praised as 'A meticulous and compelling novel' by Ian Rankin. 'What if I told you,' he said, 'that I believe my mother's life to be in danger?' Robertson Bennet returns to Edinburgh after a 25-year absence in search of his parents and his inheritance. But both have disappeared. A quick, routine police check should be enough - and Detective Inspector Helen Birch has enough on her plate trying to help her brother, Charlie, after an assault in prison. But all her instincts tell her not to let this case go. And so she digs. George and Phamie Bennet were together for a long time. No one can ever really know the secrets kept between husband and wife. But as Birch slowly begins to unravel the truth, terrible crimes start to rise to the surface. Beautifully written and ingeniously plotted, Cover Your Tracks confirms Claire Askew as a major new talent in crime fiction. Praise for Claire Askew's novels: 'Stunning debut... compellingly written' - Daily Mail 'A meticulous and compelling novel about the aftermath of a major crime and its effect on the affected families and investigating officers both' - Ian Rankin 'Splendid debut... thoughtful and well-written' - Guardian 'Gripping, heartbreaking and horrifyingly plausible. I couldn't tear myself away from this book. Claire Askew is a stunning new voice in crime fiction' - Erin Kelly, author of He Said/She Said 'Moving and memorable' - The Sunday Times 'A fine, thought-provoking debut' - Mail on Sunday 'Claire Askew takes us away from the obvious plot and asks us tantalising questions... an absorbing psychological trio for Askew's thought-provoking entry into crime fiction' - The Times Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I liked this a bit more than the second book in the series. It was a fast read and I was highly invested, making my best guesses as to how it would play out. I actually ended up predicting the ending, but I wasn’t annoyed about being able to do this. (I don’t usually try to solve mystery novels, so sometimes I find it irritating to be able to predict the outcome.) I also liked how some of the story was summarized using online newspaper articles, including really old ones from the archives. ( )
