One Hot Summer
Anita Waller
Publication Date 25th August 2022
A city on fire. A killer who can’t be stopped. Who will be next?
When two teenagers are found dead in a fire, DI Laura Henshall and DS Will Peters are called in to investigate. They believe it was a revenge attack gone wrong.
But soon fires are cropping up everywhere, and the police suspect they’re dealing with something much bigger . . . something that could bring the city to its knees.
With time running out, can the detectives find the arsonists before the city goes up in flames?
Anita Waller was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire in 1946. She married Dave in 1967 and they have three adult children.
With many books to her name, she feels she has finally realised her dream. She writes mainly psychological thrillers, but was commissioned in 2018 to write a cosy mystery series, the Kat and Mouse trilogy. By November 2020 this will have grown to five books, plus a spin-off standalone novel called Epitaph, featuring Doris, one of the characters from the series. This series has now led on to a spin-off series, the Connection Trilogy, with books entitled Blood Red, Code Blue and Darkest Green. All her books so far, which will number twenty by the time Darkest Green is available, have been published by Bloodhound Books.
She is now in her mid-seventies, happily writing most days and would dearly love to plan a novel, but has accepted that isn’t the way of her mind. Every novel starts with a sentence and she waits to see where that sentence will take her, and her characters. If writer’s block intrudes, be sure there will be a death.
In her life away from the computer in the corner of her kitchen, she is a Sheffield Wednesday supporter with blue blood in her veins!
Her genre is murder – necessary murder.
My Review
So excited to let you know that Anita has another excellent book under her belt.
I know that Anita was nervous but she has no reason to be.
On Hot Summer is well written, has great characters, and plenty of twists and turns to keep you reading.
If you like your stories to be nailbiters and if you have time to read in one sitting, even if you don’t have the time to read in one sitting I do recommend you read this one.
I cannot wait to see what Anita has installed in her next book.
