This series just keeps getting better!

The fifth of Claire’s DI Birch series is a tightly plotted mystery wrapped in deep, meaningful and realistic character development, topped off by her expert writing. It was so compelling that it took me less than a day to inhale the whole thing - from first opening it during my coffee break to reaching the final page well after I normally curl up for sleep - and I spent the hours I wasn't reading during that time desperate to get back to it. 

Without spoiling anything I can't say everything I'd like to about how deftly and believably DI Birch's overarching character growth and personal storyline was handled in this instalment but I have to mention it because it was just so well done. I was already emotionally invested in Birch's character but I think this has bonded me for life! 

If you’ve read the rest of the series what on earth are you waiting for? Dive right in to this wonderful book. 

If you haven’t, then whilst you wouldn’t need to read the first four books to appreciate just how good this is, you’d be denying yourself a treat if you didn’t so acquire a copy of All The Hidden Truths and start what I'm fairly certain will become one of your new favourite series!
