Blurb
It’s autumn in Abergarry.
The nights lengthen, the weather turns, and the atmosphere darkens as the community is rocked by a brutal roadside murder: a loan shark’s ‘bag man’, Craig Lumsden, is found bludgeoned to death in his car in the early hours of the morning.
The season for murder.
The case seems simple enough. and the fingers quickly point to the most obvious suspect. But things are rarely as simple as they seem…
A murder that’s too close to home.
Too close for comfort, and definitely too close for complacency for private investigators Maddie Clifford and Paul Mackenzie. Delving into the case brings at least one of them face-to-face with danger… Will life in Abergarry ever be the same again?

My Thoughts
This started off a bit slow but I love the premise and the pranking which seems to make the book feel more entertaining.
The pranking was fun to read but it was also scary and would really freak me out of it happened to me.
Maddy seemed very interesting at first but something out me off of her as a person and I just can’t out my finger on it.
The story almost had a touch of mafia style to it. I really enjoy that even if I am not sure where the book is taking me. I am enjoying the ride.
The story has so many parts which can make it a bit to busy but I love how all of the intricate lines of this story are laced together making some amazing tapestry.
There are so many characters I sometimes get confused and my mind gets twisted as to who belongs with what area. It is nice seeing the characters and so many characters also allows for all aspects of the story to come out. My mind just has a bit of difficulty in keeping everything straight.
How this book made me feel was confused as I have so many thoughts in regards to the story and the characters. I think the storyline was great and I loved how it all went together. I didn’t find it always easy as there were a lot of characters with different tie ins to each other that I also felt I needed a character graph as to who was who and what they were linked with.
However on the whole this book really had so much to offer and was a perfect read especially if you wanted multiple links in your stories. The book was really good and I think what made it was the storyline and all the little plot lines that came from each part of the story and from each character.
My thanks to the publisher and author and to Anne Cater for the opportunity to read this book and to be part of the blog tour.
