Richmond Upon Thames is one of the most desirable areas to live in London. And Riverview Close – a quiet, gated community – seems to offer its inhabitants the perfect life.

At least it does until Giles Kenworthy moves in with his wife and noisy children, his four gas-guzzling cars, his loud parties and his plans for a new swimming pool in his garden.

His neighbours all have a reason to hate him and are soon up in arms.

When Kenworthy is shot dead with a crossbow bolt through his neck, all of them come under suspicion and his murder opens the door to lies, deception and further death.

The police are baffled. Reluctantly, they call in former Detective Daniel Hawthorne. But even he is faced with a seemingly impossible puzzle.

How do you solve a murder when everyone has the same motive?

My Thoughts:

The story is set in Riverview Close where everyone knows everyone else’s business so when Giles Kenworthy and his family move in and set about making the other residents life a misery , none of the residents are very happy, so when they call a meeting expecting Giles to turn they are all shocked when his body is found but are they? When Detective Daniel Hawthorne investigates, he could ever imagine what he will discover eventually, it takes time to work everything out. I tried to piece together what I could but I came up with nothing. It was a great mystery to follow along with and as this is my first book by Anthony I am suitably impressed. I love reading a book where it is set in a place I know very well, I liked reading about places I know it just adds something more to the story. I cannot wait to read more by Anthony.

I received an ARC copy of this book for an honest review.
