"She Lies in Wait" marks the beginning of a new crime thriller series that I anticipate following. I would definitely recommend this book and author! It is obvious to the reader that Jonah has more than one family secret and has layers of personality that is yet to be unveiled. With a rocky personal life in which her ex-boyfriend is taunting her with verbal abuse and texts, she is trying valiantly to make a good impression on her new boss and co-workers.

A well written, deftly plotted British crime fiction/police procedural. As an Anglophile, I thoroughly enjoyed the British setting and nuances.

The police squad members (Americans may want to brush up on the DCI, constable terminology first) have their own idiosyncrasies that play into the mystery and make the reading even more enjoyable. I enjoyed becoming acquainted with the four member team led by DCI Jonah Sheens. The characters were intriguing, though I found I didn't warm to them as much as I have with other series.

Wrenn K

As his team follows the clues, they uncover layers of secrets. Outwardly reserved, he is a college graduate who joined the police immediately following his graduation.

4. So excited to read more by this talented author.

This is a favorite genre of mine when done properly and this was almost flawless. I waffled back and forth between my guess as to who may have committed the crime, who had the motive, who could have lived with themselves for thirty years, and I still hadn't made a decisive guess until near the end! The story was told over a two week period which brought immediacy to the events. The story has an easy to follow transition between past and present, provides a voice to the victim, as well as the suspects, and masterfully intertwines their individual stories.
