Books on Tour - Death Comes to Chase by Clare Chase

Frost sparkles on the bare winter branches, as night falls over the quiet country lanes bordering the fens. But nestled beneath an ivy-covered bough, a body lies pale in the bright moonlight…

When a promising local artist disappears, the victim’s brother begs Detective Tara Thorpe to take the case. It seems there’s no evidence of foul play… he simply disappeared without a trace.

Tara agrees to do some digging… never mind that her unorthodox approach to policing has got a few of her colleagues’ backs up. Amongst them is her former supervisor Detective Patrick Wilkins… he’s had enough of Tara calling the shots and will do anything to knock her down. She must be careful.

At least she has an ally in their boss, Detective Garstin Blake. He’ll always back her hunches. If anything, they work together too well… at least, that’s the rumour around the station these days.

When a body of a young woman is found frozen near the fens, Tara’s evidence suddenly becomes key to solving a high-profile murder. Is their missing artist still a victim… or in fact a clever murderer with a deadly plan?

An unputdownable page-turner that will keep you hooked until the very last page!

This is the third book in the popular series of books featuring Detective Constable Tara Thorpe where a body of a woman is found in the frozen fens of the Cambridgeshire country landscape.

I have read the previous two novels and enjoyed them and eagerly awaited this new release. It was good to revisit Tara Thorpe and I am enjoying seeing other characters and locations from previous books reappearing and popping up in this latest release.  As the series is progressing and Clare grows in confidence in the way that the series is moving, it appears that she is beginning to plant seeds which could be growing over the next few books - I really hope so as a few have definitely  got me thinking!

I would recommend this book to all who love a great crime series but do recommend reading them from the start.

Thank you to Bookouture for inviting me on this Books on Tour and for a copy of the book in return for an honest review.
