What She Saw by Diane Saxon - BlogTour
Why does someone want the Lawrence family dead?
The Lawrence’s were the perfect family; successful, beautiful, and happy until one night their whole world was ripped apart. Detective Sergeant Jenna Morgan is called to investigate the suspected arson attack and death of the Lawrence family at the charred remains of their stunning home, Kimble Hall. The case takes a sinister turn as the body count fails to tally. Suspecting that someone may have survived the inferno, DS Morgan and her team need to discover whether they have a witness, or someone far more dangerous. Who set the fire? Who wanted this family extinguished beyond recognition? As the case progresses, DS Morgan realises she has a calculating, cold-blooded killer on her hands, and the race is on to track them down before they kill again.
My Review
This story will chill you to the bone from the opening paragraph. My blood froze in my veins as the horror of an family being murdered in their beds unfolded. This isn't a whodunnit, we know from the beginning who the perpetrator is and watch as the detectives try and unravel the mystery.
I enjoyed the connection and camaraderie between Detective Sergeant Jenna Morgan and constable Mason Ellis. All the characters is this story are well written and elicit an emotional response from the reader as you journey with them through this tragedy. What is very interesting throughout is the other crimes that the officers deal with whilst a major investigation is taking place. I wanted it all to tie in nicely but the reality is, that in real life that rarely happens, so it made sense of there to be loose ends that leave you feeling slightly dissatisfied.
The author is most definitely a dog lover as dogs are as central to the story as most of the human characters. Domino and Fleur will warm your heart with their adorable doggy ways.
I think my favourite character is Ethel Crawford who absolutely rocks! I will say no more, you will have to read the book!
A gripping crime novel with a clever plot and interesting characters that you can almost hear breathing from the pages. I will definitely be looking out for more in this series.
