What do you get when you mash a brilliantly atmospheric crime procedural with the vintage feel of a locked room murder?  Almost perfection!!!

Will and Sara are on their honeymoon and still they manage to find a murder to solve. McAlpine Lodge is remote and beautiful but it hides a lot of secrets, the newest more shocking than the last.  The story is told by slipping backwards in time occasionally to see parts of the story unfold as they are discovered in the current timeline.  It really made for an interesting story.

Mercy, our victim, comes from the most toxic family I've ever had the misfortune to read about.  I really wanted a shower after parts of the story were revealed.  She isn't the most sympathetic of victims and you really have to work sometimes to feel sorry she is gone!

There are some almighty twists and just when you think the murder is solved, there is one more twist to make you gasp.

Faith and Amanda all make an appearance to help solve the murder and I love this little family that Will has built for himself.
