Down Cemetery Road
CWA Gold Dagger winner Mick Herron's debut novel introduces Sarah Tucker, whose search for a missing child unravels a murderous conspiracy.
When a house explodes in a quiet Oxford suburb and a girl disappears in the aftermath, Sarah Tucker—a young married woman, bored and unhappy with domestic life—becomes obsessed with finding her. Accustomed to dull chores in a childless household and hosting her husband’s wearisome business clients for dinner, Sarah suddenly finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew as her investigation reveals that people long believed dead are still among the living, while the living are fast joining the dead. What begins in a peaceful neighborhood reaches its climax on a remote, unwelcoming Scottish island as the search puts Sarah in league with a man being hunted down by murderous official forces.

I love Mick Herron’s Slough House series and his style in general. “Down Cemetery Road” had female characters with boring internal monologues which IMO made it somewhat boring. I sincerely hope Sarah Tucker does not resurface in any other books, I was sort of hoping she would get killed… Hope Zoe’s character gets more no-nonsense and entertaining in further books 🤞🏻

His writing is exceptional, the humor he can wring out of otherwise tense situations fantastic, and the plot twists outstanding. The magnificent Slough House series hooked me, now after trying other authors I’m back for more, and not in the least disappointed. On to the next in this series!
