Summary
It may be heaven on earth, but all hell has broken loose...
When a raid on a gang of people smugglers in Aberdeen goes wrong, impulsive Police Scotland detective DI Harrison Baird faces the worst punishment imaginable: relocation to England.
Posted in the sleepy seaside town of Southwold, and partnered with the apparently clueless DC Connie Connell, Baird finds himself in a world that’s totally different to the gritty Scottish streets he’s used to. Here, the biggest problem seems to be what topping to put on his ice cream, and how to avoid eating DI Henry Crump’s awful fish pie.
But beneath the surface, the Suffolk coast hides a terrifying darkness. One night, a body is washed ashore—a long-dead thing—and in its eye is a silver coin.
When more bodies follow, each murdered more brutally than the last, Baird realizes that he’s arrived just in time to face a ruthless serial killer—one who seems to be targeting members of a powerful local crime family.
It’s clear that things down south are not always what they seem. And sometimes, even in the most peaceful of places, you need to play hardball.

I'm a huge JD Kirk fan and the Logan/Hoon series is what created my weird Angus thing but also introduced me to many amazing authors, I can see why Alex is a part of that group now, absolute banger of a book, loved the Logan name drop and the last line... well I may have to find some time to catch up! already about to start the next in the series and with 2 more coming up I'm a happy gal! highly recommend for tartan noir fans and those who love a laugh! Oh there is one chapter though that nearly made me actually vomit, I had to stop the book and come back later, so yeah weak stomachs like mine beware!
So Blimmin' Good!

If you are a fan of JD Kirk, you will find this book perfectly suited to you. It has an interesting storyline, with lots of humorous moments to have you giggling to yourself.
The Scottish detective, Harrison Baird, finds himself being sent to England to help solve a case. Even if you, like me, solve the case halfway through the book, you will be interested to see how it all pieces together.
I do recommend this book.
Outstanding Performance and a good storyline
