Review # 1 was written on 2013-10-21 00:00:00 Daniel Kochis Still Waters follows DCS Fran Harman, as she investigates both a suicide that doesn't make sense and a three year old murder case that's up for review, the body having never been found and the two men sent to prison for the crime being possibly innocent all along. However her new boss, DCC Simon Gates has another agenda for her including possible retirement unless she does as he wants. Still Waters was a steady paced, light crime novel that kept your interest yet was still nice and gentle. Fran is extremely likeable as are many of the other characters however there are some extremely unlikeable characters as well that made my blood boil. It also annoyed me how weak Mark was went it came to his daughter. The plot wasn't predictable per se however I had a feeling where it was all headed. There were a few surprises throughout that I didn't see coming and I soon realised that even some of the most trivial details were in fact essential parts to the plot. The only major gripe I have with the book is that I felt that not a lot was actually resolved in the end. I get the very end scene however I'm more talking about the crimes that Fran was trying to solve. They weren't really wrapped up and even though I understand some questions can't be answered, it would have been nice to have the ones that could. Overall the book was a light, enjoyable read that I would recommend to those like a steady paced mystery/crime fiction. www.readingforthemasses.wordpress.com

Review # 2 was written on 2014-12-19 00:00:00 Timothy Cooper Fran Harman and Mark Turner have problems both at home at work. Mark has moved into Fran's cottage allowing his daughter to move into his house temporarily with her two children while she sorts out her marital problems. Mark is convinced there is something wrong with the water supply in Fran's cottage and it seems other villagers agree. ran and Mark need to sort out a firm to renovate and restore their newly purchased Georgian former rectory and Simon Gates - former protégé of Fran's and now her boss - suggests a firm he knows. That's all ignoring the crime side of things. Fran is tasked with reviewing a case which is coming up for appeal and she soon finds that even though two men were found guilty of murdering the wife of one of them there was very little evidence. She's also curious about an apparent suicide. Definitely more than enough for both Fran and Mark to be going on with and things can only get worse before they get better. This is a fast paced and well written crime story with plenty of interweaving strands and themes and an interesting background. I enjoyed reading it even though I read it completely out of the published order of the series. This is number three in the series. Clearly the books can be read out of order but I think they are best read in order of publication as this one leads straight into the next one which is 'Burying the Past.'
