Set in March 2020 and focusing quite heavily on Covid restrictions and protocols, “Beyond Closed Doors” sees DCI Greg Geldard and his team, try to solve their cases in the most inhospitable of times ever encountered and considering what freedom they had to work with, it’s amazing any crimes were ever solved!  With a long wait for court dates, it was frustrating for Greg to realise how Covid was affecting remand and trials. It’s hard to believe the pandemic was 4 years ago now and we experienced the many changes to everyday life but sudden deaths did occur and the author tied this into the story, with the respect and empathy it deserved. 

 

Neat short chapters, allow for easy reading and quick scene changes that reflect the different layers to the story, whilst still keeping the atmospheric Norfolk Broads this author is renowned for. 

 

Anything in the story that refers to a previous novel, the author points this out to the reader and directs you to the correct book. However, you don’t need to read any previous ones, as this quite easily reads as a stand-alone but the books do follow on immediately from the one previous, so for complete continuity, reading them in order is recommend but not essential.  

 

Now don’t expect this book to arrive at a nice and tidy conclusion because Heather Peck does not do this! She leaves irresistible cliffhangers, with a tease that is just too enticing to ignore and as usual I’m begging you Heather, to not wait too long to write the next book……this particular cliffhanger is going to be truly interesting!
