A solid first novel of a new series.
Interesting characters, contemporary social issues and a decent amount of drama.

Thank you NetGalley and Joffe Books for the eARC.
Sara Hirst has moved from London to North Norfolk to join the police force.  Her mother is angry and not speaking to her, but Sara wants to find her father, who left when she was two and her mother refused to discuss him.
It's difficult for her, her team is not exactly welcoming and when they investigate a murder and a series of serious farm robberies, Sara has a big shock coming.
I liked Sara and empathized with her and also felt very sorry for her father.  There is a nasty gang of Eastern European farm workers who keep two girls imprisoned and those chapters are very tense and exciting.
I'm assuming this is the start of a series and will definitely be reading the next book.  Recommended!

Enjoyable start,to what I assume will be a series.
A good cast of characters both in the police station and outside of it.
There were a few things that struck me as a bit far fetched,but I'm sure by book 2 they will just be background.
Interested to see where it goes from here.
