Our murder happens quickly so we're rapidly into a whodunnit. The first half of the book is the first police inquiry which fails to apprehend the murderer. Then, in the second half of the book, 10 years later, the brother of the victim is back in town and determined to find out what really happened.

I've not read many crime novels with the structure being a failed investigation then a second successful investigation. However, I kept reading and the ending worked for me.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I found the beginning of the book hard to follow, it didn’t pull me in as fast as I hoped. It took me a little longer than normal to finish a book of this size. Halfway into the book I got into it and started seeing the story come alive. I can’t believe I almost didn’t finish it! It developed so well, I was excited to finish the book. There are hints as to who is who and who did it near the end if you pay attention. Overall I did enjoy the book.
