LONGLISTED FOR THE CWA GOLD DAGGER
______________________
After The Puppet Show, a new storm is coming . . .
Jared Keaton, chef to the stars. Charming. Charismatic. Psychopath . . . He's currently serving a life sentence for the brutal murder of his daughter, Elizabeth. Her body was never found and Keaton was convicted largely on the testimony of Detective Sergeant Washington Poe.
So when a young woman staggers into a remote police station with irrefutable evidence that she is Elizabeth Keaton, Poe finds himself on the wrong end of an investigation, one that could cost him much more than his career.
Helped by the only person he trusts, the brilliant but socially awkward Tilly Bradshaw, Poe races to answer the only question that matters: how can someone be both dead and alive at the same time?
And then Elizabeth goes missing again - and all paths of investigation lead back to Poe.
The gripping new thriller in the Washington Poe series from M. W. Craven, winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award for best crime novel of 2019.

Gripping tale. Another Craven classic.
Great characters meld together to make this story both convincing and intriguing. A very good read. That will leave you wanting another Washington Poe episode.

Another good story
Another good Poe adventure. Though keys points of the investigation did seem to be telegraphed, making it somewhat obvious at times.

Addictive and enjoyable
Just listened to The Botanist and this one in succession. Couldn't wait to get back to it. The stories are engrossing and well paced -- and the team of Poe and Tilly is brilliant.
Well read too.
