With everything in London reminding her of the past, she moves from a high-profile squad with the Met to a new job as DI in her old hometown — sleepy, seaside Berminster. She’s still grieving and lonely, but she’s a fighter and she’s smart, which earns her the respect of her colleagues DS Ali Carlin and DC Patrick Hill, and the grudging approval of her DCI, who wants his protégé to get her job. THE SETTING The sleepy Sussex town of Berminster is a commuter’s dream — only five miles from the coast and a short train ride away from London. It boasts an inland harbour, woodlands and a nature reserve. But there’s more to this picture-perfect little town than meets the eye — as Detective Siv finds out for herself.
