“Quality crime narrative that reaches deep to deliver well-developed, rounded, realistic characters set in and around the Northland Police Units in New Zealand.”
This is the second book in the Detective Inspector Nyree Bradshaw series but can be read as a stand-alone novel.
If you’re a fan of Hannah Richell, Fiona Sussman, Michael Bennett or the collection of Australian crime genre then you’ll love this too.
Lizzy Bean’s body is discovered in amongst a hoarders pile of rubbish within her home, but her death is one piece in the wider criminal web for DI Bradshaw and her team to unravel.
Childhood links to State Care emerge and reveals vulnerabilities compromised. Solving Lizzy’s case exposes deeper roots and the accusations extend way up high in the echelons of power.
Better Left Dead is the right balance of pace, tension and realistic characters making this the perfect companion as the Autumn chills start to creep in.
Look out for more titles as the series featuring DI Bradshaw evolves…I’m hooked!
