‘Fast paced… I have to admit I struggled to put this book down, grabbing five minutes here and there just to finish it!… Fantastic read, would definitely recommend!’ Stardust Book Review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐




Detective Megan Thomas’s latest case is far too close to home…




A woman is found on a beach, weeping over her missing child.




A businessman’s broken body is found on the floor of a luxury flat.




Detective Megan Thomas thought that moving to the beautiful coastline of Devon would be quieter than her undercover life in London. But the cases she’s working on prove that evil can strike anywhere, and she’s determined to put it right.




But when her sister is identified as a key suspect, Megan faces a terrible dilemma: her family, or the truth?




And when it seems the only way to find answers is to confront a killer, how much is she willing to risk?




Fans of Ann Cleeves, Angela Marsons and Mari Hannah will be hooked by this incredibly gripping mystery thriller.

Close To The Bone is the second book in the Detective Megan Thomas series by British author, Susan Wilkins. Summer in Devon is a busy time for the Major Investigations Team. DS Megan Thomas is assigned as liaison to the National Crime Authority investigating people smuggling while her boss gives the murder of a property developer to the newest DI on the team, the recently-returned-to-duty Jim Collins. An old-school cop, Megan decides: racist, sexist and technology-averse.

The NCA work is stimulating, and Daniel Ingram’s flirtation adds interest, but Megan is soon distracted by the interrogation of her younger sister, Debbie, as the prime murder suspect. Debbie found the body, worked for the victim, and her movements are in question, but she vehemently denies killing Greg Porter. Is she telling the truth? Also niggling at Megan’s thoughts is the recent release of a local criminal who has formed an association while in prison with the man who is responsible for her PTSD diagnosis. Could he know she is in Devon?

Once again, Wilkins gives the reader a fast-paced, tightly-plotted tale filled with believable characters and natural dialogue, and augmented by some excellent twists and red herrings to keep the reader guessing. As well as a novel method of human trafficking, the second instalment of Megan Thomas features domestic violence. Another dose of brilliant crime fiction. More please!
