5. donnasbookblog.wordpress I enjoyed this book and started reading it as soon as it arrived on my Kindle, I have been really impressed with the series so far so jumped in to this one, and it was another book that I really enjoyed The story was slower than I would normally like but that was mainly due to the story potentially being one that DI Hillary Greene may not be able to crack The writing style was excellent as always and I love the characters and really enjoyed meeting the new member of her [...]

15. I really enjoy this series While I typically would rate this type of book a 4, an article I read about how authors depend on star ratings makes me give this a five because it was very good and I have no complaints about the plot or characters It was well done, even though not a have to read again favorite I rarely read even my favorites a second time around, so I am rewarding the author with the extra star and I will continue to come back for , so I think that means the extra star is earned

16. I m really enjoying the Hillary Greene series, particularly as they are set in and around Oxford, which is local for me In this book, Hillary and her team are investigating the stabbing of an elderly woman in her own home I really like the way the author makes the lives of the police officers just as interesting as the main storyline In this one, a new detective arrives from the Met under a cloud, determined to prove himself to his new boss This was another good read from Faith Martin Thanks to [...]

18. Another winner in the DI Hillary Greene series While the reason for the murder was a tad anticlimactic, I thoroughly enjoyed the process of getting there Lots going on in everyone s personal life which made for a fast paced read Always great to read a story with a whip smart, no nonsense, 40 something heroine Looks like the reissue of books 7 11 are yet to be released, but I ll be first in line when they re available

20. I really like these books although the recent ones are hard to find Our library system has a large print edition of this book I think the characters are very good and they have a reasonably good sense of place without going overboard with descriptive text My only complaint is that the solutions to the mysteries tend to spring into the mind of Hillary Greene late in the story instead of being gradually unraveled as the case progresses.

23. This time, DI Hillary Greene and her team including a new face are investigating the murder of a pensioner in her home It doesn t seem to be robbery, and the woman was dying anyway.Whilst overall, this is another great DI Hillary Greene novel, I was left a bit disappointed Too much romance for my liking.

24. Hillary investigates the death of a harmless elderly woman and on the side a police officer stalking her sergeant, Janine Janine is about to move to another station and Hillary also has a new DC, Keith, while still juggling all her admirers.The plot was a good one, although there was far re hashing of events from previous instalments Sergeant Ross was good value as usual.
