Author Introduction
Jo Allen was born in Wolverhampton and is a graduate of Edinburgh, Strathclyde and the Open University, with undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in geography and Earth science. She’s been writing for pleasure and publication for as long as she can remember. After a career in economic consultancy she took up writing and was first published under the name Jennifer Young, in genres of short stories, romance and romantic suspense. She wrote online articles on travel and on her favorite academic subject, Earth science. In 2017 she took the plunge and began writing the genre she most likes to read -- crime.
Jo lives in the English Lakes, where the DCI Satterthwaite series is set. In common with all her favorite characters, she loves football (she’s a season ticket holder with her beloved Wolverhampton Wanderers) and cats.
Blurb
A drowned man. A missing teenager. A deadly secret.
When Emmy Leach discovers the body of a drug addict, wrapped in a tent and submerged in the icy waters of a Cumbrian tarn, she causes more than one problem for investigating officer DCI Jude Satterthwaite. Not only does the discovery revive his first, unsolved, case, but the case reveals Emmy’s complicated past and opens old wounds on the personal front, regarding Jude’s relationship with his colleague and former partner, Ashleigh O’Halloran.
As Jude and his team unpick an old story, it becomes increasingly clear that Emmy is in danger. What secrets are she and her controlling, coercive husband hiding, from the police and from each other? What connection does the dead man have with a recently-busted network of drug dealers? And, as the net closes in on the killer, can Jude and Ashleigh solve a murder — and prevent another?
My Opinion
Death In The Mist by Jo Allen is an interesting and exciting thriller. I felt that the book is too ambitious as it encompasses many theories surrounding the characters. The author has wanted to say many things, that too, in around 300 pages. Although, the plot has everything from drugs to relationship problems. The climax is definitely, going to hit you hard as it was totally different from what I was expecting. The will interest you only if you are a fan of medium paced mystery thriller.
Also, the characters are interesting and each character has a different story to tell. You are definitely going to enjoy the book.
I would like to give the book 4 stars. Thanks to Rachel's Random Resources for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.
