Second forensic thriller in the Ally Dymond series.
* * * *
(This review is based on a free review copy from the publisher via Net Galley UK.)
In the aftermath of the traumas suffered by Ally Dymond and her daughter, Megan, in “Breakneck Point” “Slaughterhouse Farm” is a fast-moving and compelling story of how long-buried traumas and abusive relationships can lead to crimes decades or even generations after that initial trauma.
What unravels is not one thread of a single mystery, but a web of interlocking crimes committed by different people from three generations and several families and for a wide spread of reasons, which means that the pressure on CSI Ally Dymond and her family, and the tension for the reader, never let up till the very end. This wouldn’t be an Ally Dymond story if it did! And if you don’t know everything that’s going on, how can you ever know who to trust?
This is a very good read, but so much goes on that you more or less have to read it from cover to cover in order to keep everything in your head.
Slaughterhouse Farm by T. Orr Munro is published by HQ on the 25th of May 2023.
