Goodreads synopsis:
A brand new DCI Jude Satterthwaite crime mystery from the bestselling Jo Allen.
When one-hundred-year-old Violet Ross is found dead at Eden's End, a luxury care home hidden in a secluded nook of the Lake District's Eden Valley it's tragic, of course, but not unexpected. Except for the instantly recognizable look in her lifeless eyes... that of pure terror.
DCI Jude Satterthwaite heads up the investigation, but as the deaths start to mount up it's clear that he, and DS Ashleigh O'Halloran need to uncover a long-buried secret before the killer strikes again...
The second in the unmissable, Lake District-set, DCI Jude Satterthwaite series.

This is the second book in the DVCI Satterwaite mystery series by Jo Allen.
What a great police procedural! I felt like I was watching my new favorite show on tv. Lots of drama in these pages. Midsomer Murders has nothing on this!
Even though there were few suspects, these few sure kept me guessing as to whodunit. It was like a wicked merry go round. Round and round she goes. Just when you think you have a handle on the killer… nope! Not that one. For a hot minute I even suspected Jude’s old flame who called in the initial complaint about the unusual death of 100 yr old Violet Ross. Shame on me! :)
I am so happy to have found this series in its infancy. I am sure this will go on for years with many installments of Jude & Co. I only wish there had been a bit more Jude/Ashleigh romance but I understand why it was so tame. Got to build into these things, right?
If you love police procedural, romantic suspense or detective fiction, definitely check this one out. You will not be disappointed!!
I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
