ABOUT SHE LIES IN WAIT
 
Six friends. One killer. Who do you trust?
Seven friends go down to the woods.
But one never comes home.
Now, a body has been found.
They thought they'd got away with it.
But now they're all suspects.
Who do you trust?
 
On a hot July night in 1983, six school friends go camping in the forest. Bright and brilliant, they are destined for great things, and young Aurora Jackson is dazzled to be allowed to tag along.
 
Thirty years later, a body is discovered. DCI Sheens is called to the scene, but he already knows what's waiting for him: Aurora Jackson, found at long last.
 
But that's not all. The friends have all maintained their innocence, but the body is found in a hideaway only the six of them knew about.
 
It seems the killer has always lurked very close to home...

My Review:

DCI Sheens gets a call he's been waiting thirty years for. The decomposed body of the missing girl, Aurora, has been finally been found. The story is told in two timelines a) now –Sheen's police investigation and b) then – Aurora's story. The chapters are well thought out and you are able to keep up with the clues in real time investigation against what happened in 1983. Everyone is a suspect.
 
I really enjoyed She Lies in Wait, and it kept me guessing and changing my suspects until the very end.
 
I hope to see more of DCI Sheens and especially DC Hanson.
 
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
 
Thank you so much the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a complimentary electronic copy in return for an honest review.
