📕 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗧𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 📕 𝗚𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗩𝗘 by Wendy Dranfield ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗲 I'm thrilled to be sharing my thoughts on Gone To Her Grave as part of the Bookouture book tour. Thanks to Bookouture for my spot on the tour, and together with @netgalley for my copy of the book in exchange for my honest review. 𝗠𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 I wanted to read this book as soon as I had read the synopsis, and the story justifies the praise this book is attracting. It has the twists and red herrings you would expect to find, and it held a good solid pace. Now, one little observation, while this is a great standalone read, I feel you will enjoy it more if you have read the three previous books in the Detective Madison Harper series, even if only for better backstory and context. I love the characters of these books. Madison is a strong, intelligent, independent, police detective, and Nate is tenacious, driven, and unrelenting. If I’m in trouble, I want these two on my side. Nate's dog Brody feels just as integral to their team. I felt genuine empathy for Madison when she found out about her colleagues death and, especially when she dug into what may have led to this tragic loss, while continuing her investigation. Overall, I am glad to have been introduced to the author's work, and this series. I enjoyed the read, the twists, and the eventual reveal. I was so sure I had worked it out, but alas no. I’m happy to recommend this book to any reader of crime thrillers or anyone wanting a great mystery, although I’ll add the caveat that you will appreciate both Madison and Nate more if you read the whole series in order. I gave Find To Her Grave, by Wendy Dranfield, four stars. #ad #gifted #gonetohergrave #wendydranfield #bookouture #crimethriller #detectivemadisonharper #mystery #booklover #bookstagrammers #johnsbookshelf #bookstabloggers #bookreader #blogtour #bookstagram #bibliophile #bookshelf #bookaddict #igreads #bookblog #readabook #johnsbookshelfblogs #bookaholic #fortheloveofbooks #goodreadschallenge2022 #bookpost #blogpost #johnsbookshelfreviews (at Southampton, England, U.K.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcY1WU4LGhV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
