The Sleepover by Carol Wyer

5.0

Roxy is fourteen years old and has told her mum Cathy that she”s spending th night at her friend Ellie’s house. The girls often have a sleepover on a Saturday night so Cathy isn’t concerned. Across town, on the affluent Linnet Lane, a hose has caught fire. The fire investigator finds signs of arson and then a gruesome discovery is made - a body in the basement which was used as an entertainment room by the owners. DI Natalie Ward and her team are called in to investigate and the body is identified as Roxy’s. The owners are two brothers who run a local nightclub and neither seem bothered by the loss of their home but claim not to know Roxy or how she got into their house. The team struggle to find a motive for Roxy’s death and soon realise that several people. including her family, are not being fully forthcoming with them. This reticence continues Ben after another two deaths. While working in the case Natalie is still struggling with her relationship with her husband David and is becoming increasingly concerned about her son Josh’s behaviour.

Absolutely love this series by Carol Wyer. Hope another installment will be available soon.
