I raced through this book, it grabs you from the very first page and you just won't be able to put it down. A string of suicides at local seaside towns aren't what they seem and when a local police officer is added to the tally something is definitely not right. Amy and her team including her DCI Donovan are seconded to Clacton where the police officer was based., Nothing can prepare them for what lies ahead as the investigation takes off, Amy is still plagued by ghosts from her past but Donavan is always there for her as their relationship moves up a notch. I love this series you get to know the characters warts and all. The book could be read as a stand-alone but to get the full benefit I would recommend reading it as a series, you won't be disappointed.

A number of men's bodies have been found drowned with drugs in their system and no known connections. Soon after one of their own detective Carla is also found drowned and the team works furiously to try and figure out what the connections are and who the murderer is? Is it one of their own? Is it the strange group of homeless teenagers, drug dealers or who?
Amy Winter also has to deal with the stabbing of her mother one whom she has a complicated relationships with seeing that Amy's parents were serial killers. Amy suspects one of her team is behind the murders and must race around the clock to figure this out without tipping them off.
Lots of good suspense, a good back story about Amy's mother, and interesting relationship between Amy and her boss Donovan leads to a quick fun read.

This is the 4th book in the DI Amy Winter series by author Caroline Mitchell. This is such a great series, well developed characters, exciting plots and interesting back stories. I really do recommend you start from the very beginning of the series for maximum enjoyment.

Several suicides in the seaside resorts rock the community but DI Amy Winter suspects foul play may be involved rather than a series of self inflicted deaths. The investigations are heightened when a police officer is named as the latest to die and DI Amy Winter suspects there may be a link to the tragic deaths. This is going to be a very tough investigation and Amy may need to confront her dark past while trying to solve the crimes. As is normal in these situations, people are reluctant to share their knowledge and it will take all the skills Amy possesses to uncover the truth before more bodies show up.

This is another exciting, gripping novel in this exciting series which had me turning the pages at speed wanting to find out more. Great colourful characters and twists and turns that will surprise. Another excellent read by Caroline Mitchell who calls on all her knowledge and experience from her previous life as a police detective.

I would like to thank both Netgalley and Amazon Publishing UK for supplying a copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

Lovers of crime and thrillers definitely need to add this book to their collection.
I can’t wait to read more from DI Winter

Why are people in seaside hotels committing suicide? Wouldn’t people on vacation be happy? It’s not until one of the victims is found to be a police officer, DI Amy Winter gets involved. She knows there’s more going on than meets the eye, but the people in the local village are loathe to part with any information and so are the group of teens who seem to know more than they’re letting on. To make matters worse, Amy’s mother, a convicted serial killer, is being released from prison. This series is sooo good, Mitchell’s portrayal of Amy’s relationship with her mother is almost nauseatingly frightening.Be prepared to be spooked!

When all these suicides hits a string of seaside resorts, a police officer is named as the latest to die, DI Amy Winter suspects there may be more than mere coincidence to these tragic deaths. But what dark motive could cause someone to throw themselves into the cold depths of the North Sea?
Someone knows slot more then they are telling!

This amazing thriller kept me hooked. It was a book that has you glued to pages and won't let you pull away till you're done!
This story was written so well. Now I've got to jump on kindle and get the books before this one.

A good read.
DI Amy Winter suspects there may be more than mere coincidence to these tragic deaths. But what dark motive could cause someone to throw themselves into the cold depths of the North Sea?
Someone in the community knows more than they are letting on, but Amy’s questions are met with resistance. A group of mysterious teenagers might hold the key, but why are they so afraid to talk? Meanwhile, after the release from prison of her serial killer mother, Amy is fighting her own demons.
In her toughest investigation yet, Amy must confront her dark past if she is to put an end to the carnage. What secret is so terrible that it’s worth killing a police officer for?
Go and read it.
Thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for giving me an advanced copy of this book.
