REVIEW

I enjoyed this debut book from Wendy Cartmell. I liked the fact it was set in the military setting and that the main characters investigate crimes within the military, they work for a special investigation branch. You have to like the main characters Sergeant Major Tom Crane and Billy one of his staff members. We get a look into their own lives as well as the investigation of a soldier who murders his wife and young son not long after returning from Afghanistan. Crane learns of several similar murders of soldiers and their families and believe they are linked by a local church.

Once I started reading I couldn't put this book down as I needed to know the truth! Will look up the next one in the series.

A good read, would recommend
