Book Description:
He swore by the mantra… live life as if every day is your last…
Tim Farrant had everything he could wish for, a wife and children he adores, a business that is going from strength to strength. Until his partner announces he’s sold his stake in the company.
That day Tim’s world implodes.
Years later, DI Sally Parker receives an anonymous tip-off that a body has been buried at an address in her area.
A devastating and complex case unfolds, one that has Sally scratching her head, until the penny finally drops and the hunt is on to find a killer, who has been living a lie for the past five years.
My Thoughts:
This book felt slightly different to the others in the series in that a lot of it is centred around the past with Tim whose life is about to take a turn for the worse with everything being ripped away from him. Sally and Lorne felt more in the background as we get to know more about Tim, his business and family and how what happened then resulted in remains of someone being found in the present day.
Poor Tim is put in a horrible situation where he is constantly having to make decisions and being torn as to whether they are the right ones or not. It makes for some tense reading waiting to see what happens next. This is a man that is at the end of his tether and I would hate to ever been in the same position. Sally and Lorne as always work well together and after years on the job, they still have the right amount of empathy and respect.
The Good Die Young by M.A. Comley is a tense and thrilling story as you never know what is going to happen next. My heart was in my mouth many a time whilst reading it and I was desperate to know who was behind all that was going on and the reason for why they were doing it. Although book eleven in the series, it does read well as a standalone. Page turningly good!
My thanks to the author for an advanced readers copy of this book. All opinions are my own and not biased in anyway.
