I was eager to read this latest outing for DI Ben Kitto and it didn't disappoint. It has all the ingredients I look for in a detective series, an interesting main character with some ongoing romantic interest, a sense of place - in this case the Scilly Isles, and a gripping plot.

This begins with Ben swimming around the coast of one of the islands in preparation for a Swimathon. His swim is cut short when he spots a body hanging from a sheer rock, bizarrely dressed as a bride in white. What follows is a race to find the killer as more women are abducted and turn up dressed as brides. I didn't guess the killer - and though the ending is a little implausible it does just pass muster.

I'm looking forward to number 5 in the series and thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for a review copy of number 4.
