 Twenty Sixteen

by Lee Bullman

June 23-28

Two murders, committed over three decades apart, set in motion a modern noir detective story that plays out against the chaos of a Britain at odds with itself.

As Brexit bites and Britain begins to tear itself apart, DI Reider returns from a manhunt in Europe with a bullet hole in his shoulder and decides it’s time to retire from the force. But Reider hasn’t counted on his first case coming back to haunt him. He hasn’t counted on his career going full circle and he definitely hasn’t counted on Sasha Haye.

Angry and heartbroken, Sasha is seeking answers about the death of her boyfriend and Reider might just be the only person who can help her find them.

Against the backdrop of thereferendum and its aftermath, the pair embark on a journey that brings them into contact with extremism, celebrity, politics and the world of vintage porn, as they attempt to unravel a murderous knot with threads that lead into the dark heart of the establishment, and a past which has a cold and unrelenting grip on the present.



I love a good murder mystery spanning decades located outside of the US. This is my first book by this author and won't be my last, I loved every moment of this twisty tale. The characters are well developed and realistic. The backdrop of Brexit added depth to the story that kept me engaged from start to finish.   

With a career ending shoulder injury and haunted by a crime 30 years ago, DI Reider returns home and helps solve a murder masked as a suicide. Sasha Haye intends to find out who killer her boyfriend, she knows he wouldn't commit suicide. With the police believing the case is closed, Sasha and Reider work together to find the murderer. The chemistry of these two is instant and serves them well as they solve this case. I had no idea who the murdered was and loved the ending.

I highly recommend this book and am looking forward to reading more from Lee!
