She always went too far.

DS Alexandra Cupidi has done it again. She should have learnt to keep her big mouth shut after the scandal that sent her packing - resentful teenager in tow - from the London Met to the lonely Kent coastline. Murder is different here, among the fens and stark beaches.

She was the one who found the killers.

The man drowned in the slurry pit had been herded there like an animal. He was North African, like many of the fruit pickers that work the fields. The more Cupidi discovers, the more she wants to ask - but these people are suspicious of questions.

And now it was killing her.

It will take an understanding of this strange place - its old ways and new crimes - to uncover the dark conspiracy behind the murder. Cupidi is not afraid to travel that road. But she should be. She should, by now, have learnt.

Salt Lane is the first in the new DS Alexandra Cupidi series. With his trademark characterisation and flair for social commentary, William Shaw has crafted a crime novel for our time that grips you, mind and heart.

Looked forward to this, female detective novel but formulaic writing with heavy handed 'female' storylines lacking in insight was irritating. Terrible reading-upper class narrator voice with 'essex clubbing girl' voice for everyone else.

Overhyped; thin characterisation

I’ve never read this author before so was not sure life it would be for me but l am pleased that I did. Well read, in a setting and on a topic I am not familiar with.
Really enjoyed it and will be getting more of his work.

Well worth reading

I'll get this book on kindle instead as I loved the last book of William Shaw's that I listened to but really can't get on with this narrator unfortunately.

The narration is very annoying

Like Midsummer Murders

Great narrator. Complex plot without being over elaborate. The characters build as the book progresses. Evocative descriptions of the Kent coast and marshes.

Credible interesting characters and story
