Last To Love



Last To Love
By Lucy Martin
Genre:-Crime Thriller
Pages:-322
Blurb:- A young mother is fighting for her life after falling from her third-floor balcony, and police question the last people to see her alive. her three best friends who, an hour earlier were celebrating her birthday at her flat. But as the investigation develops, so does the network of suspects.
 With the victim's husband front and centre of the case, the focus widens to his contacts and associates, revealing a chilling connection not only with the crime in question, but with those in charge of preventing it. Forced to work alongside her arch-nemesis from the past, DCI Matt Preedy, DS Ronnie Delmar finds herself trying to untie the complex knots of the case, while simultaneously looking over her shoulder at her own colleagues and questioning the motives of those she thought she trusted. Police procedural meets psychological thriller-this is the third in the DS Ronnie Delmar series and is set against the backdrop of contemporary policing, in particular the post-Everard scandal of misogyny and misbehaviour in the force.

My Review:-This is the first book I've read from the author, Lucy Martin, but will be looking for more from her. This is Book Three in DS Ronnie (Veronica) Delmar  detective series. I didn't feel like I have missed anything with not reading the other two books. Ronnie is a single mother with two children and has a few insecurities, including where she works. A woman falls from her third floor balcony and its up to Ronnie to find out who and why. Ronnie is good at her job, even when she has to work with people she doesn't like or gets on with. Ronnie is a strong woman and doesn't care what people think of her. I love how Lucy makes you think it could be any of the main characters, but you will have to read the book to find out just who done it. I love Lucy's storyline, she has you guessing and just when you think you know who did it, you find out you're wrong. Anyone that loves crime fiction will love this book.
