“No Safe Place” by Patricia Gibney – Book Review @bookouture #NoSafePlace #LottieParkerSeries #BookReview @trisha460 #ReadingIreland23

I learn and loved Patricia Gibney’s first three novels Lottie Parker police procedural series. They had been implausible! I’ve needed to learn the fourth within the collection for some time now – I am SO blissful to report that it was nearly as good as the primary three.

These of you who haven’t but met Lottie ParkerI recapitulate.
Lottie Parker is a Guard Siochana detective inspector who lives and works within the fictional city of Ragmullin within the irish midlands.

Lottie is a type of fantastic “imperfect” protagonists. Greater than 4 years after her demise, she nonetheless mourns her late husband, Adam. Lottie throws herself into her job – usually on the expense of her dwelling life together with her three teenage youngsters and toddler grandson whom she loves fiercely. In her mid-40s, Lottie has an addictive persona and she or he tries valiantly to keep away from alcohol and painkillers. She does not eat correctly, is at all times drained and her nerves are on edge. Lottie is from the ‘sandwich technology‘ – caught between caring for her personal youngsters AND her mom. Though surrounded by individuals at dwelling and at work, Lottie feels very lonely.

Lottie Parker’s second-in-command, Mark Boyd stays loyal to Lottie always – despite the fact that she usually makes it very tough for her. On this outing, it turns into obvious that Boyd cares deeply for Lottie on a private degree. Additionally, on this e-book, Boyd’s youthful sister, Grace, comes to stick with him for just a few weeks.

The fourth e-book finds DI Lottie Parker and her workforce investigating the homicide of Elizabeth Byrne, a younger lady who repeatedly traveled on the Dublin-Ragmullin practice.

Alongside her present heavy workload, Lottie additionally offers with the chilly case of one other younger lady who disappeared after her practice trip practically ten years prior…

As in earlier books on this collection, in the course of the early chapters of this e-book, I used to be a bit impatient with Lottie Parker’s self-destructive behaviors. Then, coming into the e-book, I spotted that these issues that annoyed me had been the identical issues that made Lottie Parker so particular to me. She is dedicated to her three youngsters and her grandson, even when they generally check her persistence.

It is a crime novel crammed with unhappy and tragic household tales. It will be truthful to say that in this episode of the collection, Lottie faces some very traumatic private challenges.

Wonderful characterization and compelling storylines are the highlights of this collection, and this fourth e-book lives as much as its type. With themes of sibling rivalry, excessive jealousy, and prejudice, this e-book was an interesting learn.

I extremely suggest this novel and collection to detective novel readers who’re undeterred by harrowing scenes and emotionally draining circumstances. Hopefully it will not be too lengthy earlier than I’ve the chance to learn the fifth novel on this stellar collection.
