A well written detective novel. It seems to be a simple case but then complications arise. The characters are all very realistic and have depth. The book keeps you captivated with every page and the twist is completely unexpected, This is the first of a series of books that I am looking forward to reading

This was an enjoyable read and I would recommend it. thanks for letting me have an advance copy. I'm new to this author.

Really good start to the series that had everything in it

Fraser-Sampson brings a lovely classic sense of Golden Age mystery writing to a modern setting with the start of his Hampshire-set series. His debut, while also an intriguing murder mystery in itself, with an array of fascinating characters, is also something of a love letter to those days of Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, and Dorothy Sayers. It has something of a timeless quality to the storytelling, and is somewhat 'cosy' in nature, so may seem slow-paced to those who devour modern, high-tech thrillers full of action. But for those who enjoy the classics, there's a lot to love here. I look forward to seeing how the series develops.

Five Dead Bodies, a new DSI to take over the investigation and the help of a profiler sought.. I enjoyed Book 1 in the Hampstead Murder series. I was surprised by the ending which I hadn't guessed. I will be looking out for the next in this series by Guy Fraser-Samspon
