Synopsis
The thrilling first instalment in the Forrester Detective Agency Mystery series from the author of #2 bestseller The Family at No. 12
Nothing is more important than family . . .
Matt Forrester has followed in his dad’s footsteps, climbing the police ranks to become a DI. But when he receives an urgent call for help, Matt has to rethink his career. His dad has been murdered, and Matt’s not going to let this case go. It doesn’t help that his current boss is sleeping with his ex-wife.
Hermia Forrester didn’t follow her brother into the police force, instead she works in research at the university. But, she’s not going to let that stop her from helping her brother find out what happened to their dad.
But the siblings soon find themselves surrounded by more danger than they ever imagined. Can they both survive this case or will there be more of their family in the morgue?
My Take
A well plotted story, credible story, believable characters, a police procedural series I intend to follow.
My rating: 4.5
About the author
Anita Waller was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire in 1946. She married Dave in 1967 and they have three adult children.
In 2021 Waller signed a five book deal with Boldwood Books, followed by a three book deal, and currently has eight published books with them: Flash Point, The Family at No.12, Fatal Secrets (the first in a new series set in Sheffield), The Couple Across the Street, Fatal Lies, (the second in the Forrester series) and The Girls Next Door. The final book in the Forrester series, Fatal Endings, has now been launched and this has been followed by a standalone, The Missing Ones.
Her next book will be available in August 2025, and is entitled The House of Lies. This will be followed by a Christmas novel, aiming for an October launch date.
She is now in her late-seventies, happily writing most days and would dearly love to plan a novel, but has accepted that isn’t the way of her mind. Every novel starts with a sentence and she waits to see where that sentence and her characters will take her. If writer's block intrudes, be sure there will be a death.
In her life away from the computer in the corner of her kitchen, she is a Sheffield Wednesday supporter with blue blood in her veins!
Her genre is murder - necessary murder.
