    The kind of crime writing I enjoy - a wonderful start to a new series
  

*by W***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2024*

With a full diary for her gardening business, Abby could have done without having to take on the upkeep of the garden of her soon-to-be ex-husband Howard’s family home – but there are good reasons why it’s a job she couldn’t refuse. Finding the bones of a baby among the roots of an ailing rose, she reports it to the police – and incurs Howard’s wrath, worried about the impact of the ensuing publicity on his political aspirations. But his fury proves short-lived – after an argument, he’s found dead at the very same spot, killed with Abby’s spade. She understandably becomes a prime suspect – but there are plenty more who might have had their reasons for not having regrets about his demise. While endeavouring to clear her name and follow her own clues towards finding Howard’s killer, the unknown baby’s bones and her natural curiosity lead her to investigate the dark family history and there are a few real surprises along the way.The whole story – pursuit of the murderer in the present, laced with red herrings and a sizeable list of credible suspects, and the sad story shrouded in the past – are quite wonderfully told, with all the twists and turns I could possibly have asked for, making it all particularly compelling and engaging. But I’ll admit that what I particularly loved about it was the fantastic characterisation. Abby herself is so very likeable, as she deals with the demands of her work while handling her children’s grief at the loss of their father (and, after a long marriage, some of her own too). Part of a particularly well drawn rural community, she’s supported by good friends – estate agent Meg, police woman Dee, and old school friend Jake (who I have high hopes might become a love interest – as a romance reader, it’s something I always look for!) – all equally well rounded, and I really enjoyed the relationships between them.Something else I thoroughly enjoyed was the pacing of the story – gentle at first, but gathering speed and increasing in tension as the clues proliferate and the discoveries begin to multiply. Although I’m not usually a cosy mystery fan, I was entirely drawn into the story – I sat down, intending to dip in for an hour or so, but finished reading in the early hours, unable to put it down until I’d read the last page. The outcome and ending were unexpected, but entirely convincing and completely believable and, as always, had me looking in entirely the wrong direction.Although there’s a distinctly dark edge to the story at times, there’s a really lovely lightness to the writing – with plenty of warmth, and the most perfectly judged touches of humour. This is the kind of crime writing I enjoy – but the plotting is also challenging enough to give it real appeal for more hard-core crime readers. A wholly successful transition for the author, and wonderful start to a new series – I’m happy to declare myself a fan, and I’ll look forward to the next Maybridge mystery…

Really loved this gripping story. I did get a bit confused over some characters at the end but I’ll certainly read the next book by the author.
