I’m not usually into mysteries but this one was fun, a lot due to its setting in Wales and seeing more of their culture as well as the struggle between the Welsh and the English. I also enjoyed the mirror structure plot, and found a lot of the backstory of different characters to add something new and thrilling. Some of the reveals about the characters were even more shocking then just the whodunit. Plus I love Leo’s and Ffion’s dynamic working together. I couldn’t guess who the killer was; everybody was a suspect, and I liked the uncertainty of that, too.

I really enjoyed this mystery.  The characters were interesting and created so many suspects.  The setting of the border between Wales and England helped add to the conflict.  I'll be reading future DC Morgan books.

A freaking roller coaster. Nothing is what is seems in this little town. When a dead body is found in the lake, the investigation leads to almost everyone have a motive 👀. There are so many freaking plot twists, some I saw coming, others not so much but they were still good. Really enjoyed this one!

Although this took me a while to get into, this had the usual Clare mackintosh way of weaving a story together which had me trying to weave threads together and not coming out at the right conclusions!
