A review by jordanelliotbeaven
A Body Under the Bridge by P.F. Ford, P.F. Ford
4.0
This is my first book written by the author and wow what a read!
An elderly man reports his friend missing after missing the men’s weekly chess session, the detectives go to the missing man’s house where they enter and find the house has hardly any furniture but his dog had been left, which isn’t usual. The detectives get an investigation going, neighbours on either side of the man’s house are questioned and interviewed after a body was found. But is that body Gareth Jenkins? Why is he miles away from his home if he never left the house?
A BODY UNDER THE BRIDGE is my first book by P.F. Ford and I don’t think this will be my last! This isn’t my usual genre but it was such a welcome read that I think I need to read more of the authors books. I realise as I write this review that this is the latest book in the series and I will be going on to read the rest of series.
The way the book is written is remarkable, it really does feel as if you are on the case with the detectives, getting to know their every thought and theory, second guessing there theory’s and wanting to shout at them because they’re not thinking the obvious, however I must admit I was wrong many times thinking I knew what happened next but just as I thought “AH HA” there was a twist.
I recommend this read however I can’t say much as to the rest of the series other than I’m looking forward to going back and also exploring other books this author has written.
I give 4 stars instead of 5 as I found the ending to be sudden and unexpected without any follow on, wether there may be another book in the series I don’t know but I really hope so! I also found there was a lot of dialogue that it was confusing knowing who said what sometimes, although it could just be me and the fact I sometimes struggle with reading and I just haven’t read the speech very well on this occasion.
I read a copy of this book courtesy of Joffe Books via NetGalley in return of an honest review. All views are my own
