Today I am on the blog tour for Death In The Woods by Jo Allen. Thanks go to Rachel’s Random Resources and the author for allowing me to be a part of this tour. Please do check out the other stops.
About The Book
A series of copycat suicides, prompted by a mysterious online blogger, causes DCI Jude Satterthwaite more problems than usual, intensifying his concerns about his troublesome younger brother, Mikey. Along with his partner, Ashleigh O’Halloran, and a local psychiatrist, Vanessa Wood, Jude struggles to find the identity of the malicious troll gaslighting young people to their deaths.
The investigation stirs grievances both old and new. What is the connection with the hippies camped near the Long Meg stone circle? Could these suicides have any connection with a decades old cold case? And, for Jude, the most crucial question of all. Is it personal — and could Mikey be the final target?
My Review
I have previously read and reviewed Death At Rainbow Cottage by the author (read my review here) as well as reading another book in the series and I really enjoyed them. I really like the characters of Jude and Ashleigh so was intrigued to see what I thought of this book.
I wasn’t disappointed and I found this a great addition to the series. As well as still enjoying the characters of Jude and Ashleigh, I also loved some other characters who appeared in the story and liked the complex plot.
The subject matter is one that needs to be discussed in the right manner and the author has managed to weave a brilliantly complex but intriguing story whilst remaining sensitive to the subject matter – no easy to ask. Another great read from Jo Allen!
