Make You Sorry written by Christine Rae Jones, a review.

This book had been lurking on my TBR pile for a while, I wish now I had got to read it sooner. I met Christine at an Indie Author’s book fair in Huntingdon’s Commemoration Hall. I liked the title and being a lover of crime fiction After a brief chat with the author, bought a signed copy of “Make You Sorry.”

Detective Inspector Nick Morgan has relocated from the Met in London to the South Coast and Gullhaven Cove. He has slept overnight, downstairs in the family’s new home, Cliffside House, belonging to his mother-in-law.  The family is due to move in that day, and the furniture van is on its way when Nick discovers the body of a dead teenage boy in the master bedroom on that Friday Morning. Although not due to start his new job until the following Monday, Nick finds himself thrown into the fray three days early. From this point on, a succession of bodies turn up; in the main, singly but not always. The killings seem to be linked but finding the link is difficult. The plot is twisty with the growing number of murder investigations complicated by, difficulties finding temporary accommodation, marital problems and a very troublesome interfering mother-in-law.

I enjoyed the book immensely and will be exploring other books by the same author, I’m pleased I stopped and spoke to Ms Rae Jones and bought the book.

    […] Fenland Phil’s Blog “The only story that springs to mind straight away, is a story I wrote, with the title, Strange Times. The story is inspired by a dream I had, in the dream, I was walking down a road in Cambridge and without any explanation I found myself in the front room of a house I was walking past at the time. (Nigel asked him to share a link.) The story is published in a book of my and George Holmes’s short stories, Strange Times and Other Stories. George is a Great Great Grandfather of mine and a pen name I use. It’s close to 4,000 words a bit too long for a blog post. I don’t know whether this will work.” […]
