Into Deadly Storms

LoveReading Says

Packed with pace, teeming with tension, and driven by a well-drawn character fans of female-fronted crime fiction will almost certainly want to hear a whole lot more from, Judi Daykin’s Into Deadly Storms - the second book in the DS Sara Hirst series - is a thoroughly entertaining thriller.

Detective Sara Hirst has left the London Met and moved to Norfolk’s Serious Crime Unit, a move precipitated by the death of her estranged father who left Brixton for Norfolk some decades ago after falling out with her Jamaican-born mother (she’s inherited his cottage, and connections to the Norfolk police). When a dog-walker discovers a near-naked body wrapped in a groundsheet, Sara is first on the scene, and first to grapple with a case that turns out to have connections to a local drug-using teacher who was never able to kick a habit picked-up at university, and - in turn - connections to a wider web of dangerous criminals.

With internal battles to fight, and a string of suspects to investigate, this entertaining police procedural is a thriller, a chiller and atmospheric to boot, with lively dialogue and characterful details adding extra layers of interest.

Joanne Owen’s lifelong love of reading and writing began when she was growing up in Pembrokeshire, and very much wished that witches (and Mrs Pepperpot) were real.
