“A haunting debut.” Minette Walters

“Compellingly told and rich with psychological insight.” Independent

“Nail-biting stuff.” Ms London

“An assured first novel, with a strong cast and a plot which twists and turns without a glitch.” Yorkshire Evening Post

Shortlisted for the CWA John Creasey Award and for the Author's Club Best First Novel Award.

AUGUST 1975: Cassie Maltham’s life changes forever one scorching day. She and her twelve-year-old cousin Suzie take a shortcut through the Greenway, an ancient pathway steeped in Norfolk legend. Somewhere along this path Suzie simply vanishes . . .

TWENTY YEARS LATER: Cassie is still tormented by nightmares, parts of her memory completely erased. With her husband Fergus and friends Anna and Simon, she returns to Norfolk, determined to confront her fears and solve a mystery that won’t let her rest.

Then another young girl goes missing at the entrance to the Greenway, and Cassie is pushed once more into the darkest recesses of her mind.

John Tynan, the retired detective who’d been in charge of Suzie’s case, is still haunted by her disappearance. He offers his help to Detective Inspector Mike Croft who is leading the increasingly frantic search for the missing child.

Has evil returned? And what really happened all those years ago and who can be believed?

Perfect for fans of Nualla Ellwood, Kl Slater, Gillian Flynn, and Lucy Clarke.

Still Needs A Decent Editor

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 24 februari 2020

Geverifieerde aankoop

It's been six years since I last tried a book by this author but thought I'd give her another go. The others I've read/tried were full of mistakes and I was sure that would've been remedied by now. Not so, however, and I gave up on this one too at 30%.
I also found it pretty confusing in places, too.....so coupled with the errors I wasn't going to stick with this, I'm afraid. This passage made me roll my eyes and pretty much switch off altogether, "...how it was an expression of the duality of nature, and of people, worshipping a twinned male and female image as a symbol of the God-force".......for real ??
At the beginning it's advised that British English is used throughout but it isn't.....the spellings in so many words are Americanised.....like tantalizingly/realized/emphasized.
There were missing speechmarks and then speechmarks added where nobody was speaking along with apostrophes being misplaced, although the main errors seem to be where perhaps someone has copied words and totally misread them, but still included the wrong ones, nonetheless. They bear no relation to what they should be, like writing 1 and not I, then modem and not modern and comer not corner (more than the once). We also had sooth not soothe.
Mike knew Cassie was married to the "bloke with the beard" but I don't know how and we're informed later on that he's a teacher and Bill is a sales rep, yet they'd looked to Bill for lessons earlier and explanations for things so this left me totally baffled and I gave up, then. And this time I will not be revisiting this author in another half a dozen years !

Wow, what a book.

Wow what a book, I started it late morning, and couldn't put it down until I finished it on the evening, its a gripping book with a haunting hint of other worldliness, Cassie is still tormented by the disappearance of her cousin Suzie twenty years ago, while they were taking the short cut through The Greenway, an ancient pathway lined with high bushes and next to Tans Hill, which has always been surrounded in mystery, and now another young girl has gone missing in the same place, Detective Inspector Mike Croft is trying to solve this case with the help of John Tynan the retired detective who tried to solve Suzies disappearance, and has never been able to let go of it, I was hooked right from the first page.

A promising start to a new series

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 25 november 2019

Geverifieerde aankoop

This is the first book in the DI Mike Croft crime series and was also the author’s debut novel.

The story has an almost supernatural feel to it with the legend of the Greenway. How can a child just disappear? Vanish with no trace and no leads? I felt for Cassie as she was the last person to see Suzie, the fact that another girl goes missing on her return in the same area, well my mind was going into overdrive as to who is behind the girls disappearances.

Mike is quite a gentle character for a detective inspector. He hasn’t been hardened to much by the job as he is still sensitive to the victims families as well as Cassie, although he also does get frustrated as her mental health is in question, which in turn causes him to take things more slower when he wants answers fast.

The story line has an almost haunting, melancholy feel to it. There is always something more sinister when a case involves children and I think the overwhelming sense of dread as to just what has happened to them, has you in two minds as to whether we really want to know.

The Greenway is a solid start to a new crime series to me. It has a likeable protagonist that has left me wanting to read more and get to know him better. This isn’t a fast paced crime book but the author’s storytelling gently pulls you in whilst holding your attention throughout. I enjoyed my first introduction to DI Mike Croft and look forward to more in the series.

Enjoyable but not thrilling

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 26 november 2019

Geverifieerde aankoop

The engaging writing in this novel pulled me immediately and as a lover of psychological thrillers I was excited to read this. The psychological aspects are mainly drawn from one character in particular who has suffered tragedy in the past. It’s here I especially appreciated the clever way mental illness was argued for and against a person committing a crime. It’s an unusual take and this was also woven together with otherworldly aspects, which added some nice suspense and feeling to the story.
The twists in the story though were a little disappointing, although well written they gave the feeling of confusion rather than misdirection, more a muddying of the waters than being led around the garden path.
In the second half of the story this seemed to shift into more of a police procedural type novel and the ending left me a little underwhelmed. Although I understood entirely why the author did this I didn’t feel fully satisfied.

Decent but not thrilling.

Beoordeeld in het Verenigd Koninkrijk op 15 maart 2019

Geverifieerde aankoop

A by-the-numbers procedural which suffers from the fact that the crime could have been solved 20 years ago if anyone had half a brain.

There’s nothing thrilling or tense in here and the book suffers hugely from dodging the motive for the crimes.
