    The annual gathering of the book club at the start of December is supposed to be a time for relaxation and catching up. But this year, the convivial evening takes a sinister turn.

    Readers love Inspector Barton: 
    ‘I’ve devoured these books. I love a main character, especially a police man, who is devoted and loves his wife. You don’t get that much anymore in books and media. Brilliant author, brilliant character and brilliant storyline.’ 
    ‘Another great read from Ross Greenwood. Love the DI Barton series. Another page turner and keeps you guessing until the end.’ 
    ‘What another amazing, addictive, can't put it down book. The twists and turns kept me guessing who was guilty, who I had the most sympathy for, who I wanted next on Santa's list and who would have a happy ending, who else would be next. Barton I fell on love with his character and the kind of guy I'd go for a night on the town with.’ 
    ‘I've thoroughly enjoyed this series and loved all the characters that have developed over each book. The issues included in the stories have been gritty, serious, humorous, sad and down to earth with realistic and relatable threads. DI Barton is a wonderful character as are Zander and Strange, a solid 3 favourites!’
