Dora Thorne and her chihuahua Happy are having their regular walk along the beach when they stumble across something unexpected… Well, it was definitely an interesting start to the story, as it makes you want to read on and find out what has happened. Death on Cromer Beach has a very large cast of characters, so much so that Greenwood has supplied a list of police officers and their ranks at the front of the book.
Wow took my breath away as we get to know the characters from the author, that at the end it will leave you looking forward to much more in the series, it will blow your mind, catching your breathe, and open your eyes, I loved it all superb writing in every single chapter that are slap bang wallop and never bore you. I like Ross Greenwood's description of Death on Cromer Beach, which allowed me to imagine being part of the book's plot. We get to know the main members of the police team throughout the book, building up a picture of their professional lives and glimpses into their private lives. Using flashback sequences and a plethora of suspects, the story takes on many angles and allows the reader to feel fully involved. We are dealing with a series of revenge killings, and the murders involve drowning the victims whilst they are still conscious, as well as the almost-now-obligatory thriller style ending, also watery.edited* ever so slightly (15 words or less) due to it being slightly rushed and rambunctious, can’t have that now that I know the great man himself has read it, can I? As the plot unfolds, the intricate relationships them, the town and the past, all becoming central to the mystery, adding layers of complexity that keep readers eagerly turning the pages. Whilst undoubtedly missing the fun, safe and riveting tapestry that comes with DI Barton and his Peterborough crew, Knight is a very engaging protagonist, that’s motivated by a difficult career where she has seen her share of horror, working against a backdrop of pain, fear and heartache which she must put aside to weave through a complex maze that is well-crafted, linking back to one historic event that changed the lives of seven young residents many years earlier, putting them all at risk, and making one of them a killer. Greenwood weaves his story together seamlessly and provides the reader with a great experience all around.
These are all small niggles that did not affect my overall enjoyment of the book, it was a solid four star read for me and I would not hesitate to pick up the next novel in this series or anything else that this author has written. It was on one of these occasions that I met my partner about 100 metres from my back door whilst walking a dog. This truly is one of those books where you are torn between wanting to devour it and wishing it would never end. Discovering more about them helps to understand their characters a little more, there is more to each than you first imagine.She also talked to a next door neighbour about the case, revealing details about the case which should have been kept hidden from the public. All in all, “ The Death on Cromer Beach” was a very enjoyable police procedural and I look forward to further books in this series with enthusiasm. It’s also very well-paced and exciting, but you get chance to know the characters too, it isn’t just action by any means. Those connected are so varied and have many problems and this also makes trying to work out events, truths and lies very difficult.
With his eloquent descriptions, I can almost taste the salt in the air, hear the waves crash, and feel the chill of the English coastal winds. An historic case from 1989 seems to be somehow linked to the current murders and Ashley fears that more bodies may be found.With a well-crafted plot and strong characterization, this book should appeal to many fans of the genre. As mentioned previously I love the seascape and the backdrop of the events, the addition of folklore and sea shanties associated with the environment also make for a very enjoyable well rounded tale with it’s touch of the mysterious. Master of the psychological thriller genre Ross Greenwood once again proves his talent for creating engrossing and gritty novels that draw you right in and won’t let go until you’ve reached the shocking ending. At the heart of the story is revenge, and a killer whose emotional depth and inner turmoil make them a multifaceted villain who’s not necessarily evil, but perhaps more just seriously misguided, by loss, and a life that’s never been able to put loss behind them.
