Riveting

The blunt object that killed DI Jimmy Perez's old friend was a Neolithic stone carved with ancient symbols and was one of a pair of ancient story stones stolen from the local museum. There's no one else to head up the local team because Perez's superior officer is also his very pregnant partner at home as well as at work. If things weren't sticky enough, the next murder makes investigating both murders even more difficult because of the winter weather and the grieving by Perez and so many others. Excellent read that begins rather slowly and escalates in speed and intensity working around the plot twists until the dramatic ending. Fascinating! I requested and received a free temporary uncorrected digital galley from St. Martin's Press/Minotaur Books via NetGalley.
