A good book
After I read "Before It's Too Late" by Jane Isaac, I said that I would certainly read more as I had enjoyed it so much so imagine my delight when I was offered to read "Beneath The Ashes" in return for an honest review by The Legend 100 Club. I wasn't going to say no was I?
We are quickly immersed in a riveting crime story being investigated by DI Will Jackman. I have said it before and I will say it again, I really like Will as a character. He is a really interesting, complex and likeable Police Officer who, despite carrying a lot of baggage around in his head, is methodical and driven to get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding Nancy and her missing boyfriend.
The story moves at a good pace and flows really well so is easy to read. The story is told from the perspectives of DI Will Jackman and Nancy in alternating chapters which, I think, works really well. There are twists, turns, secrets, lies and red herrings before the reveal at the end which I didn't see coming.
This is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a great mystery with very likeable characters and if you haven't read any of Jane Isaac's work before, I would suggest you give her a go - she certainly doesn't disappoint and I for one can't wait to read the third book in the series - The Lies Within - which is due out in May 2017.
