The cover and blurb of this book really appealed to me, with the tools in the image it could have been gruesome but, I didn’t find it so. I found this a slow-burner and would have liked more to have happened sooner but, really enjoyed it when the plot started to evolve and at the point of Cassie being chased I couldn’t race through the pages fast enough and felt like I was running with her! Cassie wanted to find out the real cause of her friend Mrs E’s death DS and this led to her playing detective in a hurry before the cremation of the body and therefore the destruction of any potential evidence. DS Flytes’ character intrigued me and we learned more about her as she softened through the book, I liked the relationship she was forming and the respect she had for Cassie. The ending took a few twists and turns and not what I had thought would happen; I really enjoyed that!
