A gripping new series from million-copy bestseller Mel Sherratt

A killer is on the loose, attacking people in places they feel most safe: their workplaces, their homes. It’s up to DS Grace Allendale to stop the murders, and prove herself to her new team.

All clues lead to local crime family the Steeles, but that’s where things get complicated. Because the Steeles aren’t just any family, they’re Grace’s family. Two brothers and two sisters, connected by the violent father only Grace and her mother escaped.

To catch the killer, Grace will have to choose between her team and her blood. But who do you trust, when both sides are out to get you?

MY REVIEW

Reason I Read It – I love a good Mystery, and was quite intrigued by this one on NetGalley!

---

I received an e-ARC of Hush Hush by Mel Sherratt from NetGalley and the publishers in exchange for an honest review.

This was my first novel by Mel Sherratt and I definitely want to read more of her books after this one. Hush Hush follows DS Grace Allendale on her first case back in her hometown of Stoke-On-Trent where she’s returned after over 20 years. But letting go of her past may not be as easy as she hoped, as she finds her long estranged family entwined in the case.

The style of investigation was fairly reminiscent of the TV Show Broadchurch and it made me realize that the book would make a great TV adaptation. The police procedures and investigations had a very authentic feel to it. I also liked Grace’s character quite a lot! She’s smart, independent and fights on the right side of law and she made a great protagonist to this story.

Overall, Hush Hush by Mel Sherratt gets 4 out of 5 stars from me.

And that’s all for today! Hope you have a great day! Until next time –
