As the wife of the chief of police, Annie should feel safe – her husband William can be secretive, but she’s sure whatever he's hiding is for her own good, isn’t it?

My Review:
I would call this book a literary mystery because the writing is so descriptive and beautiful. I especially loved the descriptions of the Annie's home on the edge of the Yorkshire moors. I have read two other books by Louise Douglas and I loved them both...this being my third one is no exception...I am in love with her prose.
The mystery includes an interesting backdrop of the miners strike and includes issues such as class, dementia, murder and police corruption covered...this book had had it all. The tension mounted steadily and it was a great page turner with a surprising twist at the end. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
