Other People's Houses: The gripping, twisty new thriller by Clare MackintoshMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
DC Ffion Morgan is called in when a trainee from the outdoor sports centre finds a missing kayak, together with a dead body. The body is that of a young estate agent who was spending the weekend with three colleagues 'team building'.
Meanwhile, Ffion's boyfriend DS Leo Brady is investigating series of break-ins at some of the big prestigious houses on The Hill, which just happens to be round the corner from where his ex-wife Allie, their son Harris, and Allie's new husband Dominic live. The robberies are unusual in that none of the house alarms went off, all of the residents were elsewhere when the robberies occurred and the thief only took small items - often overlooking valuable items in plain sight.
As a backdrop, everyone is obsessing over a true crime podcast which has chosen to focus on the murder of a husband and wife, police originally charged and convicted a man, but subsequent evidence proved his innocence and he was given a post-humous pardon. Now the podcasters have uncovered new evidence and it seems this cold case may intersect with Ffion and/or Leo's current cases.
Its strange, I was only thinking about this series the other day, wondering if we could expect more, then a week or two later this came up on NetGalley. I love this, a good story. lots of twists and turns, some stuff I saw coming and some stuff that came out of left field. Possibly the best so far.
I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
