The higher you climb, the further you fall.

On her way home after an overnight shift, DI Jan Talantire hears the control room relaying an emergency. Someone has fallen to their death from one of the highest cliffs in Devon. Jan is nearby so she agrees to hold the fort until uniformed cops arrive.

At the scene, a small knot of people have gathered, all of whom have some connection to the victim, Joanne Dexter. Could one of them have been involved in her death?

When the Commissioner personally asks Jan to take charge of the case, she is taken aback–such a small incident would usually be beneath a DI. But she soon realises there’s far more to this case than first meets the eye. This fall was no accident.

Joanne’s work forced her into close contact with some dangerous people. Could she have gotten on their bad side? Or was her killer someone closer to home?

A binge-worthy British crime thriller from the million-copy bestseller. Perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths, Kate Ellis and Sally Rigby.

Perhaps the ongoing John West saga is dragging the series down for me, but it is getting tiresome. Not sure I will continue unless a reviewer indicates the drama is over in book four. Otherwise, the actual murder seemed a bit over the top. The performance was so well done, I finished the book without skipping to the end. If you are a fan, you may give it five stars.

Just OK

First book in series was pretty good and second book a let down, and this 3rd book really led thhe series downhill It does not stand alone, character developement minimal (other than Talantire's raging hormones that were not fun or sexy to read). The gratuitous sex was definitely written from a man's standpoint. The ongoing saga of sexual harrassment with Talantine and West overshadowed what was supposed to be the main story. The author needs to find a conclusion to this and move on. The narrator was not very good - all the men sounded like women who smoked to many years and she tended to over emote. Worth the read if Audible offers a discount, sadly I wasted a credit - oh well.
