The Body Beneath the Willows by Nick Louth
5.0
I’d like to thank NetGalley and Canelo for approving me for an ARC of this book. I am a huge fan of the DCI Craig Gillard series and whilst this could be read as a standalone I do recommend reading the whole series because it is brilliant.
The story starts by throwing us straight into the action. Ozzy Blanchard returns from work acting very strange and before we know it he is involved in a high speed chase along a dual carriageway which ultimately ends in a crash.
Six months later a body is discovered beneath the willows and it is from here that the investigation starts. It was great to have DCI Craig Gillard front and centre on this one. In some of the previous stories we’ve had more of other characters POV and I missed having our leading man front and centre. From the start the detective had a clear idea of who he thought the body belonged to and set about trying to discover what happened to the victim.
As the investigation continues we have our traditional red herrings and revelations along the way. As I’ve come to expect with Nick Louth’s stories, nothing is quite what it seems and this book certainly kept me on my toes as I tried to figure out what was going on.
Another great addition to the series and I can’t wait to read more!
