Deadland by William Shaw.

Deadland is the third book in the Kent Police Force series but it can be read as a stand-alone. The central character is DS Alexandra Cupidi but other characters from the first two books return to play their part in Deadland.

Deadland is all about connections, seeing connections between incidents. The plots are very complex and have nothing in common. I loved the way this story was told. On the one hand you had the professional investigative skills of the Kent Police Force. But on the other hand you had the tale from the point of view of two petty criminals who I nicknamed Dumb and Dumber.

I found Deadland a very entertaining read which ticked all the right boxes. Once again I loved the scenes that took place in remote locations and marshland. Great dialogue between the characters and I loved those brief snips of wisdom, like initial interview techniques and seeing in the dark.

I got a great buzz when I got to the end of this story. How things out of nowhere can become connected and how some people can get some things so very, very wrong. This was a great read and gets the top score of 5 stars from me.

Deadland was written in 2019 and is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook.
