Hi, everyone!
Today I am excited to share this Feature Post/Blog Blitz and Book Review for a great new release from Pamela Murray – BLOODLINE: an edge of your seat crime thriller which is the second book featuring DI Joe Burton and DS Sally Fielding. This book can easily be read as a standalone, but I loved it so much I will be going back to read the first title, MURDERLAND.
Below you will find a book blurb, my book review and the author’s bio. I highly recommend this British police procedural/mystery!

My Book Review:
RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars
BLOODLINE: an edge of your seat crime thriller by Pamela Murray is a new and exciting British police procedural featuring Detective Inspector Joe Burton and Detective Sergeant Sally Fielding. This is the second book in the series and can be easily read as a standalone. I will definitely be going back to read the first book, MURDERLAND.
A homeless man is found stabbed to death lying in a doorway. But something is not right. The police are shocked when they find out the homeless man was one of their own from London working undercover.
The fingerprints identify the slain office, but his DNA comes back linking him genetically to a cold case homicide. Now DI Burton has two homicides to investigate as DS Fielding goes undercover to follow the case that leads to the policeman’s death.
These cases are tied together with lies and deceit which the detectives must unravel before more people end up dead.
This book is an exciting page turner that hooked me right away. There are so many unanswered questions, deceptions, twists and turns. The main characters are likable and realistic. The two plots are intertwined and flow seamlessly from start to resolution.
I am very happy to have found this author and series now, when I only have one book to go back to read. I can highly recommend this British procedural/mystery!
