Somewhere to review books I'm reading without giving away any spoilers!

Intriguing case with surprises galore! The Winter Killings by Wes Markin

A gruesome find. A missing colleague. A case that hits closer to home…

My Review:

When her colleague and friend and disappears
DCI Emma Gardner for his safety she fears.
But then a storyteller's prop in the local pub
Causes a dreadful hubbub!

A skull with no body is a total surprise
But its just the first clue she'll soon realise.
No one is reported missing so who can it be?
And why hide it there for all later to see?

There's danger and intrigue and mystery, too,
With Emma at the heart of all that they do.
Can she find who the killer is and catch them somehow
Before any more victims meet there end anyhow?

A case where secrets from the past are the key
With cover ups adding to this strange mystery.
There's also a key role for Riddick to play
Let's hope they'll all survive to live another day.

An intriguing case with twists and surprises
With great characters and drama, readers soon realise.
A fascinating story with family drama, too,
As Emma has to decide just what to do!

The ending is dramatic and worrying, too.
With the promise of more for Emma to work through.
For my copy of this book I say thank you
As I share with you this, my honest review.
