REVIEW

Welcome to the fourth instalment of the Yorkshire Murders series, can be read as a stand alone, but definitely recommend you read the previous books especially when it comes to Riddick and Gardner’s past.

This book takes us on a roller-coaster, with a 40 year old cold case connecting to a recent grisly discovery in the graveyard Gardner and her team are divided up to find the connection, and when two teenagers are found dead in the same graveyard months later it brings her together again with Riddick. He has been working in another station after his his previous reckless actions saw him lose his friendship with Gardner. When he is brought in to weigh in on a drugs connection to the teenagers death, he starts to spiral again, and Gardner who has reservations of trusting him feels herself torn with helping him.

There is a lot packed into this book, it was great to see Riddick again, he is a broken man and he really needs someone on his side – could that be Gardner? I woluld love to think so but how Markin leaves this book hanging I am patiently waiting for the next instalment!
