If you can't live with the truth, bury it...

Following a devastating encounter with a serial killer, Detective Inspector Freya Bloom is left mentally scarred. After a six-month sabbatical, and no desire to return to the bustling London streets, she accepts a position in rural Lincolnshire in search of a slower pace of life.

But with London behind her, and a new life in the wild fens of Lincolnshire before her, she finds only endless drama in her new team, a tortured romance in her only ally, and crimes so deadly even the steely determination that drove her to success is tested.

From the moment Freya’s expensive heels hit Lincolnshire soil, the push-pull relationship with her Sergeant begins. Noses are put out of joint, tempers are frayed, and more importantly, a body is discovered on a wild beach. There’s no time to make friends. If Freya is to make her mark in this remote county, she must work with the team she’s been given, and untangle the web of lies surrounding the death of teenager, Jessica Hudson.

Can Freya ditch her designer heels for wellington boots, and adapt to the country life? Can she shape her new team into something workable? And can she put her past behind her long enough to prevent a second murder?

Secrets In Blood is the unforgettable first book in the Wild Fens Murder Mystery series by Jack Cartwright. Filled with twists, peppered with romance, and flavoured with humour, the Wild Fens Murder Mystery series is perfect for fans of JD Kirk, JM Dalgliesh, Ann Cleeves, and Rachel McClean.

I appear to be in a minority of one.

There may be a good book lurking among the errors of grammar and syntax, but I was so distracted by the mistakes that I was unable to find it.
A blatant inconsistency: when visiting the mortuary: "Don't stand there letting the heat out" - then on the very next page: "the soft hiss of the brushes that retained the cool air."
Wrong words: "an emotional outburst was eminent" - should be imminent.
"at the royal leisure" - the phrase is Her Majest's pleasure.
"a momentary reprise in the wind" - I think you mean respite.
"shoeing them from the wind" - shoeing is what farriers do for horses - try shooing.
"The incessant winds had yet to cease - if they had ceased they wouldn't be incessant.
Possibly just typos: "Ben nodded a silent repose." (How about response?)
"The forest offered a refuse". (The 's' and the 'g' aren't even close on the keyboard.
Others: "Near to" - a pet hate of mine - near OR close to.
"His self" - what can I say.
Yes, I know I'm a pedant, but I could to on with many more examples.

I suggest you employ the sevices of GOOD editors and proof readers.
I certainly shall not be reading any more by this author.

Two authors?

Absolutely baffled by this book. Started well, and thought I was going to enjoy a decent, workmanlike police procedural. Some annoying editing errors, but otherwise ok. Then I suddenly seemed to have slipped through a timewarp into a totally different book - a really tacky Mills and Boone romance. Then back to the decent police procedural. It reads as if the author had written a pretty good whodunnit, and then someone said 'It needs some romantic interest/sexual tension' so he asked a romance writer, probably long since retired, to interpolate the requisite bits. Sadly, without them it would be a pretty good book. With them I'm not sure I can plough on to the end.

I know the area very well

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 August 2022

This was a pleasant change for me. Especially interesting as it covers the area we have been visiting for many years. Was intriguing to picture where the police woman lived and worked and I recognised many areas. Makes a change for a thriller to be based in Lincolnshire instead of Yorkshire, Scotland etc.

Exciting from the very first paragraph!

As expected, Jack Cartwright did not dissapoint!
A brilliant story, fast paced throughout, exciting and imaginative.
Couldn't put it down.
The characters are lovable but also irritating at times due to their personalities!
I felt I was there, in the book, watching the events unfold but was surprised at the outcome! I didn't expect that!!
An excellent read! Can't wait to devour the others in the series.
Well done Jack.

First time reading this author and I must say, I really enjoyed the story. The main characters are interesting and I'm eager to see where this series goes. I've downloaded the next 3 books and away to start on the 2nd one now.

I really enjoyed this book. A very intriguing story, kept you thinking until the end. An interesting dynamic with a new team of detectives. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a really good thriller with a twist.
Can't wait for the next one.
