The setting is northern Wales and our recovering detective Gaby Darin is back in the third installment of this series. Gaby is acting Detective Inspector while the the current DI is on sick leave trying to beat cancer.
As there seems to a lull in crime in Llandudno, DI Darin and her team look into old cold cases. Her right hand man and friend Owen Bates brings her the case about Angelica Brock. She was found in a remote area with her white blonde hair spread around her like a halo, dressed in an old white nightdress which was not her own and curled in a fetal position. There wasn't DNA to help then.
The case from over 20 years ago looked like a random killing but as the team goes over the old case notes connections appear with other unsolved murders, too many to be coincidence. There are good surprises woven into the storyline and I very much enjoyed the detectives' interaction with one another. I am especially fond of the medical examiner Rusty Mulholland.
Genre is Mystery and Thrillers/Adult Fiction

DeleteUnfortunately, my library doesn't have this title. I would enjoy visiting Wales in a book. I enjoyed Hinterland, so much.
