I discovered Valerie Keogh’s books by chance and have now quite a collection! They’re all different and great fun. This six book detective series is excellent, full of unusual twists, great stories and very likeable and not likeable characters.
Easy to read and so enjoyable.
I hope there will be another 6 series after finishing this!
