Exciting read!
I've been looking forward to this fourth instalment of the Kay Hunter series and wasn't disappointed at all. This character develops and evolves in each instalment.
The opening scene, where DS Hunter was dragged out of bed for what she thought was a routine traffic accident but ends up far from routine when the body of a young woman is found in the boot of the vehicle, sets the tone for the book. Whilst investigating this, Kay realises there may be ties to her nemesis, who has caused her havoc in both her private and professional life.
I found myself cheering her on when her professional life spilled over into her public life leaving her feeling vulnerable and questioning who she could really trust within her tight-knit unit. As we've seen before, Kay is determined and tenacious and she works hard to bring the guilty to justice even if it puts herself in danger and that's certainly the case in Hell to Pay.
This is a great read, you won't want to put it down. I highly recommend it and all in this series.
