Time to Die

 

Time to Die by Stephen Puleston- Crime

Set in the North Wales/Anglesey area this is a very interesting read amongst a rugged coastline. A body has been found looking like it has been thrown from the top of the cliffs. Further investigation leads the team to discover that he was a key witness to a burglary trial of two local well known misfits who have a reputation for violence and intimidation. Inspector Drake and team quickly discover more about the man and his wife- both appear to have other partners who may well have a motive. When another body is found the team may be led down a path that could well be the wrong one.

Although one of a series this does stand alone-this is my first book by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s an easy read to get into and stay with and is very well written. I liked Drake- he comes across as a well rounded, believable character and the short chapters kept the pace nicely. The plot is well crafted and the reader is thrown a few red herrings along the way which kept me very interested. A wonderful easy read I thoroughly enjoyed.
