The Couple on Cedar Close: An absolutely gripping psychological thriller (Detective Dan Riley Book 2)

Product Information

Laurie was devastated…she really loved him! But after the scene at the barbecue, Robert moved out and three months later he was to show up at the house for a meeting with Laurie, requesting a divorce. For Monica's plan to work, she had to rely on Laurie getting blind drunk and passing out after reentering her house and not finding Robert's body in the meantime. If Laurie had called Robert's phone just once before she started drinking, she'd have heard it from downstairs like she did after the power cut, and followed it to the guest bathroom, and been able to tell the police while stone cold sober that she didn't do it. Monica would have had no alibi and wouldn't have been able to plant the blood on Laurie, and her plan would have failed. But Laurie decided not to phone Robert when he was over an hour late to their meeting, and decided to wait until the middle of the night instead, because reasons. Maintaining your home in good, secure, safe and warm condition may present increasing problems as you grow older. Laurie, the incredibly "intelligent" woman who's been allowing her friend to drug her and lie to the police about the events leading up to her husband's murder takes an age to figure out that her friend might possibly not be a completely honest and innocent person. She also takes until almost the end of the book to realise that the perfume she smelled whilst being carried up to the murder scene is the same perfume that Monica, who she's been best friends with for 20+ years wears all the time (she must wear it all the time because we're told that she receives a new bottle of it every birthday and Christmas from Robert). Laurie Mills and her husband Robert live on Cedar Close, across the way from her best friend, Monica. Laurie is a traumatized woman, having discovered her husband’s long-term affair, leading to a car accident during Laurie’s pregnancy, causing the loss of twins. The affair continues, and one day Laurie finds that not only has her husband continued the relationship, but the other woman has given birth to a little girl. These things contribute to Laurie spiraling out of control, and when Robert is found murdered, she is the most likely suspect.

Towel Radiator. THE COUPLE ON CEDAR CLOSE is the second book in a series featuring London Detective, Dan Riley. Dan Riley’s character is smart and intuitive and I appreciate his sense of reason in the book. The roles of the women in the book were disappointingly weak. Not a role model among them, except perhaps the nosy blind neighbor Mrs Foster, who delivers the best line in the entire book—“You’ll have to speak slower, Detective. My eyes aren't what they use to be.” The parts I loved, I really enjoyed. The author did make this a fast moving thriller. Yes it’s a police procedure based series yet, it had that thriller vibe which I love. on 9 property sales since the beginning of 1995.

Figures for relationship status do not include those aged under 16, or those family members aged 16-18 who are in full-time education. I read this book after seeing several people talk about how much they like this author's mysteries. Often I think detective novels veer towards police procedural over thriller, but that is not the case with this book. It is the second in the series but I had no trouble keeping up, having not read the first.

Cedar Close : HousingCare

Within the police there seemed to be two trains of thought, one following circumstantial evidence, and the other following a gut feeling of Dan Riley. Was interesting to see the conflict within the team as most people seemed to think Dan was wrong. I wanted a bit more focus on the suspense aspect personally, but this is a police procedural so it had a lot of that as well. This will work as a standalone novel if you don’t plan to read the first. Overall a solid mystery that I enjoyed!

There are three paved areas one with a Spanish style barbecue the greenhouse has been great at getting the grandkids sunflowers started with visits to the local allotment which is only 10 minutes walk away and will be available if interested. There’s lot more but that is for you to discover and enjoy. Song running through my mind: I defy you to read this book and not have this Drake song going through your head: There is much more but I am not going to do a whole plot summary. Here is the thing. I do not really read many detective stories. It is not one of my preferred genres. So I was going to DNF this. But then it got me. It "hooked" me. I was into it! This is one of those cases where I almost missed a perfectly good book because of my own judgments.
