I haven't picked up a Fereira/Zigic book since 2018 and it was great to return to their East Anglian world and remember how brilliant Eva Dolan is combining great crime novels with well crafted plots while also touching on political issues which are on the front pages as I write. Here the story is set around an immigration detention centre and the book is well and truly positioned in the midst of post Brexit paranoia about immigrants and asylum seekers. Here a doctor in the centre is found murdered and the investigation runs parallel with a plot about an apparent miscarriage of justice. Couldn't put it down .
