Short, quick and entertaining mystery as Sukey Reynolds, now a full-fledged DC with Bristol CID, gets involved with antiquities theft and murder. This is the 8th book in series and I feel that it's best to read them, from the beginning, in order.
Sukey has left Gloucester and her previous job as a scene of crime investigator to pursue her original dream of being a detective. She's moved to Bristol and just starting out in her new job after getting the necessary qualifications. Her social life and romance with DI Jim Castle has taken a huge step back and her son, Fergus, is busy at university so she doesn't see him often. I really missed that aspect of the book -- Sukey's interactions with her son and Jim -- and hope that is resumed in the next book. I do like the character of Sukey and hope that she can settle down and perform her job well since she's now a real member of the police and doesn't have to do her amateur sleuthing any longer. Her SOCO experience has helped make her a good observer and she has a very companionate nature which assists greatly in her ability to get information from others. I like the writing style and the descriptions of the setting and will continue on with this series.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for the e-book ARC to read and review.
