The Puppet Show by M.W.Craven

I am new to blogging but have a love of reading so bare with me as I start this blog. I have to start with a very recent book I found. I joined a great group on facebook called Uk Crime Book Club and this book was recommended by many people and by chance I had it on my book case although I didn't remember buying it but boy am I glad I did.

Washington Poe has been suspended from his job after he leaked information that led to a murder he has taken himself off to the a remote part of the Lake District where he lives with his dog Edgar. However he gets a call from a previous colleague who worked under him but now has his old job acting D I Stephanie Flynn a body has been found with his name on it so he is returned to work to try and solve this serial killer case. Newby Matilda Bradshaw (Tilly) who has several degrees and a masters but has lived a very sheltered life and has no filter when she speaks which at times is funny this lightens the story and by the end Tilly and Poe are good friends. The action and suspense is kept right up until the end. I read this in one sitting and had that sad feeling when I had finished it as I could have read more.

I love the characters in this they are like chalk and cheese and the story just flows brilliantly. So if you want a good crime thriller/police procedure novel then grab this one.

Just by chance book two in the series is out on June 20th and I have been lucky enough to have been given an ARC and will post a review nearer the release date but its another good read.
