Devastating family secrets from the past. Sisters with a murderous rivalry....

A family move into their dream home in Dorchester. It seems perfect, particularly for their two children, but when Philip and Jill Freeman move a buddleia bush, what they find buried beneath its roots will haunt them forever.

DCI Sophie Allen is forced to probe crimes that occurred many years before, crimes that cause emotional upheavals within the local community. In a complex investigation, Sophie Allen unearths family secrets which carry on having devastating effects to this day and risk taking new lives.

This series offers a strong story with smart interesting characters. You cannot guess where the story will lead. I love the main character, she is smart, tough and sensitive. I look forward to the rest of this series.

Great story lines

Sophie comes off as a bit too precious. I don't like her smug righteousness. Also didn't care for the narrator's portrayal.

Not Hambling's best

I enjoyed the plot. The characters are still pretty thin, but there is more fleshing out and I liked cameos from past books. Narrator is still flat, but maybe I'm getting used to it as it didn't bother me as much.

Good Plot - Bad Narrator
