The Restless Dead David Hunter 5

The suspense in this book is like the flood and tide; it floats away to keep you engaged, then rushes back in to clash all over again. David Hunter’s cases are always on the dangerous side, and he has a knack for attracting it like a magnet, even if he doesn’t want it. This time, he has really caught a big case in the wetlands of Essex: a decomposed body found in the wettest part of the Backwaters needs his full attention. This might give him a moment of distraction from personal difficulties he still couldn’t shake off. A far-off location, a decomposed body- what else could a forensic anthropologist wish for? More limbs to discover and working against time under the worst weather conditions. I got drawn in like driftwood caught by the flood, happy to keep my feet dry.
