Teaser

“I can sympathize with your wife’s reaction. I wouldn’t be too happy if I woke to discover a noose hanging in a tree outside my window,” Fiona said.

“Not the best start to a morning,” James agreed, his voice tense and strained. “Linda is worried they are more than empty threats. She’s convinced, sooner or later, they will actually do me some harm.”

My Opinion

The book leads DCI Peter Hatherall and DI Fiona Williams to Grange Farm, owned by James Palmer; weird stuff is happening. I will not tell you more about the story than shown in the Goodreads plot description. This would spoil the fun of reading this book yourself.

With Point of No Return, Diana J. Febry has once again created an intriguing story of a relatively easy seeming case that is just the beginning of a strange series of events. Point of No Return is a very gripping read with lovingly elaborated characters; I learned a lot about the characters, helping me to come to my own conclusions, being involved in solving the case. Diana J. Febry gives the reader time to get acquainted with the characters and the case and it gets more and more thrilling as the story proceeds – thanks to a cleverly woven plot line. I was drawn into the story right away, was really close to Peter, Fiona and all events. Point of No Return is a great British mystery – a highly enjoyable read. You will enjoy it even if you usually prefer fast-paced reads.

This a book to read again. Highly recommended.
