Beyond Closed Doors by Heather Peck ~ Review & Blog Tour

The streets may be quiet, but violence lurks beyond closed doors.

Greg has his challenges. Trying to get Chris to take his marriage proposal seriously is one. Finding the mole who is leaking intelligence from Norfolk Police is another. Add in a pandemic, a knife-wielding nutter with delusions of grandeur and two missing children, and he is going to need all the help he can get.

Then his parents fall ill with Covid, Chris gets promoted and moves in, complete with her foul-mouthed parrot, Tally.

Life is definitely not dull.

I really enjoyed this read. I must be honest and say that this is the first book in the DCI Greg Geldard series that I have read. I don’t think it has made any difference that I haven’t read any of the previous ones but I’m definitely going to head back and read them as I feel like I just want to see what I’ve missed out on.

I like Greg as a character and liked getting to see his relationship with Chris also. He doesn’t seem like he’s one to give up on things which is good. I did feel for him trying to navigate things with his mum and dad during the covid pandemic starting to take hold when this book was set.

The storyline itself is very intriguing and there is clearly more still to come but it’s a very interesting read and is highlighting some of the issues faced during the pandemic well. I really feel for Karen & Jake and I’m looking forward to seeing the outcome of that in the next book.
