Weekends are my favorite moments for crime stories, because I have enough time to follow the investigations from one end to the other, while during an average working day, I may have to just use my time in-between working assignments.
My choice today was Death at Fakenham Races by Ross Greenwood. Based in Norwich, it is the latest in the series build around DI Ashley Knight, but it can be read as well as a stand-alone.
Following an argument at Fakenham, police discover a corpse in the snow. As the investigation advances, there are many details revealed that may indicate that there is more to Fakenham races than horses. Some of those revelations may be strong enough to indicate that there are many reasons explaining the crime.
The more we advanced into the investigation the more details are challenging the plot. At the same time, we can also observe the characters and their complex behavior. I was pleased by the twists and also by the ending, although I had little doubts about where the story leads to. Hence, the element of surprise that suits so well this genre.
Death at Fakenham Races was an adventurous read with a lot of police investigations details. Recommended if you want to spend your weekend in the company of complex characters with a lot of secrets to hide.
Rating: 4 stars
