The Cotswold Manor Hotel welcomes an eclectic mix of guests, and on one fateful Friday evening, two witnesses overhear an argument in a neighbouring room, followed by a loud thud. The next morning, the maid discovers the room has been vacated, all that remains is a dried bloodstain on the carpet! Good book! This was a cozy mystery but with a bit of a bite! It has good suspense, action, murder, mystery, high stakes thief's, a great who done it and some crazy twists and turns! The story was very interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley, the author and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

A brilliant British police procedural. I couldn't put it down. DCI Chloe Taylor is called to a small upmarket hotel after a maid finds a large blood stain in one of the rooms she was cleaning. At first, Chloe's not quite sure what to make of it as there's no body and the resident of the room has vanished. But, then a body does turn up and it's all systems go. Chloe has to deal with a case that just gets bigger and more involved as it progresses, as well as 2 of her staff being determined to undermine her ability to handle the case. A fast paced, well written story that has plenty of twists and turns and a satisfying ending!
