What you need to know before your trail

A young mother is found dead in her home in Nottingham.When the police investigate they find no obvious cause, there are no marks on the body and the whole scene is somewhat of a mystery. But DI Hannah Robbins and her team  discover that the woman is the first in a long line of murders by poison.

The body count is climbing, and the city of Nottingham is in social meltdown. There is a serial killer on a mission  to prove a point. And Hannah finds herself targeting an individual with whom she has more in common than she could possibly know.

Travel Guide

Nottingham

The city of Nottingham really comes into its own with Rebecca Bradley as your guide. Granted these are the mean streets of the city but she also manages to weave  in some interesting detail. The city is a character for sure from the Old Market Square to George’s restaurant which used to be a bank. Being able to visit the locations for real gives an edge to both story and city.

People around this city are being found dead in ways not obvious at first. There seems to be no link between the deaths and the police are at a loss to find the reason for the deaths. The police investigate all over Nottingham and its suburbs and such is the detail of present day Nottingham that you should really visit the Costa Coffee that Hannah does, the restaurant and the Court to get a sense of the distance between these findings and the next stage of the investigation.

Booktrailer Review

Susan: @thebooktrailer

Rebecca Bradley has done it again. Character s from the first book come back with a  vengeance and I’m even more in awe/scared/nervous around DI Hannah Robbins than I was the first time. You’d want her on your side in a fight of any kind that’s for sure.
I am really starting to want more of these books and to meet Hannah again (once I get my strength back) as she is one of a kind. Rebecca herself was in the police and the level of insight in what goes on and more importantly what doesn’t go on, really cuts to the chase. I was right there in the room with the characters, felt their tension and frustration. The use of flashbacks in particularly was a nice plot device that created the story to propel forward with Hannah at the wheel.
The story of the poisoning was unique as I’d not read about this since the last Victorian novel I’d read. But Rebecca has really given this a new twist and it’s not the story you think it will be as you start. The next thing you know, you’re actually starting to doubt your own everyday…. now that’s a good novel.
