About this listen
Megan has to climb round and step across the body to get a proper view. What's left is like a chalk white mask in the rough shape of a face. The innocence is still there, and a hint of the cheekiness. But perhaps she is imagining that.
Detective Megan Thomas moved to Devon for a fresh start, after years spent undercover. She's staying with her sister and swimming in the sea daily, battling the tides and letting the waves wash her past away. But she can't outrun everything.
On her first day back, she's called to a murder. The body lies deep in an underground bunker, and when Megan forces herself to look, it triggers a panic attack. As her heart races and her breathing stalls, she realises she's not sure if she can go back to life in a regular crime unit. Her memories are too powerful to be buried - maybe too powerful to let her do her job.
But when another body is found on the stretch of beach where she swims every day, Megan remembers why she joined the force, and what she's fighting for. The victim came to the police for help, and Megan knows they failed her. She won't rest until she gets answers. But how can she find justice for others, when she's no longer sure of herself?
A completely gripping new series from best-selling author Susan Wilkins, introducing the tough and determined Detective Megan Thomas. For fans of Ann Cleeves, LJ Ross, and Mari Hannah, this will keep you hooked from the beginning to the end.

The other four children say Ivy is dead.

eh. not sure on this one
It wasn't good or bad. Hard to write a review for a book you're indifferent to I guess. I rarely write this and only did so because of that ending. All I can say without giving it away (not hard to figure out) is that it's just a ridiculous ending.

New cop in town
Ok, so DC Megan Thomas is not a new cop...in fact, after a 3yr undercover job that ended badly, she needed a change of pace. Hence her new position in a small village. However, her first day on the job is anything but quiet when a body is discovered in a septic tank! The story is well done. Good characters and relationships.

Great Series
I enjoyed reading this well-written book so much! The author made each scene and character so vivid I felt like I was right there living in the story with them. Megan is a sympathetic heroine doing her best to overcome a troubled past and trying her best to to succeed in coming back to policing, a profession she really loves and is good at. There are plenty of twists to the story-line to keep pulling the reader forward. The resolution was very satisfying. I liked this book so much that as soon as I finished reading it, I purchased the next book in the series!
Alex Tregear was amazing with the delivery of the story
