The novel is told from Grace's point of view, interspersed with excerpts from Freddie's podcast and Ivo's take on events. This works well as it doesn't lose sight of the narrative thread and offers a wider perspective and different interpretations of the "facts". I really enjoy a good police procedural and this is an excellent example, showing not just the difficulty in pressing charges but the costs, politics and egos involved in a major investigation.
After interviewing a friend of Heather on his blog he was found murdered. Wrong Way Home is the fourth instalment in the DI Grace Fisher series, a wee detail I didn’t actually know when I signed up for the blog tour. So once again, I find myself breaking my own rule of never starting a series anywhere else but with book one.
Stop Loading Your Dishwasher the Wrong Way. Here's How to Do It
The way you choose to load your dishwasher really does have a major impact on how well your dishes get cleaned -- and there is indeed a correct method. Moore, who was born in Sydney, claims to have visited 99 countries. He currently lives with his wife and daughter in London. He has published many books that re-tell tales of his travels.
Thank you to Random Things Tours for this copy which I reviewed honestly and voluntarily. I literally read Wrong Way Home in one night I couldn't put it down. One thing I love about this book was that I love going to Southend on Sea and most of my Family are from ColChester so I could relate to the areas within the book.

He has an interest in checking out the old hippie trail as well. Most travel writers inform us about the culture, history, cuisine, and people of distant lands as they move across a landscape, getting into adventures, meeting locals, and sharing their knowledge and perceptions. This is a stunning addition to Isabelle Grey's Essex based DI Grace Fisher series. Grace has no idea that this case will open a real can of worms, as the past refuses to stay buried with a number of present day murders, bringing with it grave dangers. The narrative gives the perspectives of Grace, Freddie and Ivo.
If you are looking for a book that combines travel writing with dry humor, than look no further than the work of this Aussie backpacker. I came across his name while traveling myself - I asked one of my fellow travelers if she could recommend a funny travel writer, and she suggested Moore. In this book the author sets off from London at some point in the late 1990s, determined to get home to Sydney by an overland route and without getting on a plane.

Really funny without ever going over-the-top to exaggerate situations. I was particularly interested in the chapters on the Balkans. He must look back on that part of his journey and think how utterly mad it was. Peter Moore’s first travelogue details his overland journey from London to Sydney as he follows in the hippy trail popularised during the 1960’s and 70’s. When Peter Moore announced he was going to travel from London to his home in Sydney without boarding an aeroplane he was met with a resounding Why? The answer was perversity and a severe case of hippie envy - hippies had the best music, they had the best drugs, they had the best sex.

Luckily, for me, this reads perfectly well as a stand-alone. A fun, quick read with good, brisk writing and interesting observations. I agree with previous reviewers that it's fine to skip chapters you're not interested in; it's easy to get back into the book at any point.
It was a little cliche with the SIO being in a relationship with a fellow office, jealousy issues etc. But otherwise a well written and enjoyable read with a storyline that kept me guessing and likeable and believable characters. The plot is cleverly worked out, the tension maintained throughout and I thoroughly enjoyed the process involved to catch the dangerous real killer. Recommended read for anyone who like a smart and engaging police procedural.
The writing was fantastic and instantly drew me in. There was plenty of well thought-out characters and a juicy twisting plot made this the perfect Crime Thriller. What I loved was the detective side of this book.
He was following the ol' hippie trail from the '60s. His experiences range from delightful to frustrating. Eight months, and 25 countries later, he finally reaches home, Sydney.
Through a series of podcasts, he sets out on his own investigation into the murder and the mind of a rapist and murderer. Local reporter Ivo Steadman is happy to help out this budding journalist but things quickly turn rather creepy. The mom of one of the victims of a triple deadly crash in Volusia County said her son was loved by everyone he met. Theresa Moser said her son Kyle Moser had just turned 25 and was the youngest of her five children. The crash also took the life of Alexandra Dulin, a popular social media influencer known as "Ali Spice."
In 1992 Heather was on a night out with friends in Southend. One minute Heather was walkingwith her friends to the train station the next minute she was gone. She was later found dead after being viciously raped. However the murder of Heather was over shadowed by the fire at the Marineland resort which destroyed the building.

Joining her on the journey is Blake a sergeant who is also a love interest, and a young new arrival Carolyn. The story has a trail to follow as we find out about a corrupt 'dead' police officer, a family who could do anything outside the law and get away with it because of the now-dead corrupt officer. This was an enthralling book which I enjoyed reading. The story gripped me from the start.I like DI Fisher and the crime reporter Ivo Sweatman who have helped each other in the past although some meetings they have tried to have in places where they wouldn't bump into colleagues. This was a roller coaster of a ride opening doors on a 25 year old unsolved murder and bringing other things into the open and questions being asked. A brilliant book in many ways, just love this series.
The murder detective's fourth investigation, 'Wrong Way Home', was a Sunday Times Crime Book of the Month. Not bad but I found some of her personal hang-ups distracting and unnecessary and introduction of her sister added nothing to the story. I might have better understood if I had read some of her previous books so, to me, it was irritating that I did not know about her "history" especially her relationships with two of the main characters.
