Rating: 4 out of 5.

I’m so happy to be a part of @rararesources book tour of Death in Bacton Wood by Ross Greenwood @rossg555 and published by Boldwood Books @bookandttonic

The book hits the ground running with a man buried alive in a shallow grave struggling to free himself. DS Ashley Knight happens to be at the police station on her day off to catch up on work, but finds herself called to the scene. As a result, her team are assigned to investigate the incident, which expands when another victim is found buried in the same woods. Soon thereafter, they discover that even more men are found – and the victims are all tied to an organized criminal organization.

The Major Investigation Team find themselves attempting to untangle a case that stretches from Eastern Europe through to North Norfolk. Along with rookie detective, the whip-smart Hector Fade, Ashley is in a race against time trying to help a family who seem determined to take matters into their own hands. And when Ashley suspects there is a department rat, the stakes get even higher.

As the evidence continues to point in different directions, and as new victims are uncovered thick and fast, Ashley and Hector begin to fear they have finally met their match in a killer too ruthless and clever to be caught.

I’m only about half-way through the book and am fascinated. Despite Ashley’s personal life being a hot mess, she is bright, talented and has good instincts. The team members all have their quirks and issues, but they still get the job done. The setting of the woods is creepy and is almost another character in the book. It adds to the tension, which I love. The mystery is twisty and I can’t wait to figure out who the killer is and why. If you like dark, twisty mysteries, definitely check this one out.

I’ll update this review once I’ve finished the book, so check back soon!
