This is book 2 in the DCI Satterthwaite detective series set in the gorgeous Lake District . I love a good mystery and this one set in a nursing home ticked all the right boxes for me .
A very elderly woman is found dead in her room ... but this is no ordinary lady , she was healthy , smart , and had plenty of opinions that she did not mind sharing , no matter if they were wanted or not ...
I loved this story , we learn early that there is more to the victim then initially it seems but the story does not give away too much too soon so it keeps us guessing giving us little clues along the way about her life . I really enjoyed trying to guess who the killer was , there was a few to choose from and it was extremely fun trying to shorten the list to who it could be . I also enjoyed the detectives banter between themselves and seeing the case from their perspective as the net closed in on the killer . If you enjoy a really good mystery than this is definitely one to pick up immediately. Great plot , great characters , great fun !

About the book
A brand new DCI Jude Satterthwaite crime mystery from the bestselling Jo Allen.
When one-hundred-year-old Violet Ross is found dead at Eden's End, a luxury care home hidden in a secluded nook of the Lake District's Eden Valley it's tragic, of course, but not unexpected. Except for the instantly recognisable look in her lifeless eyes... that of pure terror.
DCI Jude Satterthwaite heads up the investigation, but as the deaths start to mount up it's clear that he, and DS Ashleigh O'Halloran need to uncover a long-buried secret before the killer strikes again...
The second in the unmissable, Lake District-set, DCI Jude Satterthwaite series.
