Slaughterhouse Farm: Discover your new addiction with the gripping police detective crime thriller: Book 2 (The CSI Ally Dymond series)

I really enjoyed this book. It was full of twists and turns. I read the first book and this is an excellent second book in the series. I love how the characters are developing it was gripping from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this book and cannot wait to read the next book in this series

After the traumatic events of the first novel "Breakneck Point" with CSI Ally Dymond which I loved, we join her on compassionate leave, where she is looking after her daughter but becoming too overprotective and starting to push her away.This was a great plot, with some great characters with a few unexpected twists along the way.Can Ally be persuaded to go back to her duties.I look forward to reading the next novel in the series due out in November 2024.

Highly recommend this crime novel (the second in the ‘Ally Diamond’ series). Set in a farming community, the crime story develops at pace - clever, full of suspense and very well written. One of the best crime fiction series I’ve read (easily ranks on a par with Robert Galbraith, Ellie Griffiths, Anne Cleeves).

I’d read the first book from this author and loved it, but this is even better. I read it in two sittings, which is rare for me but I couldn’t put it down. It’s really well written with a great plot. I hope there’ll be more to follow.

I quite enjoyed this crime mystery and I wanted to read to the end to find out what happened, but the further I got into the book, the more knotty the plot became, and I had even less idea what was going on. I found it difficult to warm to the lead character, which would make me hesitant to reach for another book from this series, despite enjoying the North Devon setting.

I really enjoyed this second book devouring it in my sunny garden this weekend. Many twists and turns - even when I thought I’d sussed it, there was more! Tina is a talented writer - I love her books. Can’t wait for number 3.

After reading Breakneck Point, Ally's first outing, I had some niggles which I hoped were mostly concerned with it being a first in series. I am happy to say that this follow up was, for me, a much better book and the niggles have all pretty much been resolved.We start with a weird situation. 72 year old Miriam Narracott is found wandering at night on Exmore by a family driving past. They stop to help but are shocked to see she is holding a knife and covered in blood. Police are called etc etc and it eventually turns out that back at the family farmhouse where she lives, lies the dead body of her son Gabe. Open and shut case? It would seem so but Miriam is not talking.After the shenanigans of the previous book, Ally is on compassionate leave. When she does return though, it will be under new DI Harriet Moore, freshly arrived from London and completely green in the local knowledge that they will need to get to the bottom of what happened. So Ally is invited back to consult. An invitation that is initially rejected until she spots something the investigating team have all missed...This is well plotted and that plot ably executed. Despite what I said above I am still not quite 100% sold on Ally but I am not giving up on her. I have a love/hate relationship with quite a few main characters and we mostly do eventually get there. Two outings is nowhere near enough to judge completely.The crime is interesting and intriguing and kept me on my toes throughout. I tried to guess but soon gave up as futile and just sat back and enjoyed the ride. It contains all the usual twists and turns, secrets, lies and dysfunctional behaviour that you'd expect from a book of this genre.It also takes a turn that I never saw coming...All in all, a decent follow up book which leaves me eager for more. My thanks go to the Publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book.

Slaughter house farm is a gripping detective crime thriller novel by T. Orr Munro.The novel follows 72 year old Miriam, who is found wandering on Exmoor, holding a knife and covered in blood. Inside the family farmhouse, lies the body of her adult son, Gabe. CSI Alley Dymond is on compassionate leave but is asked to help on the case to find out who the murderer really is. This is the first novel that I have read by the author and it definitely won't be the last. I was hooked from the very first page and I kept reading until the end as I wanted to know what happened, with so many twists and turns it kept me guessing until the end. The author's writing is brilliant and has a way to draw you in and doesn't let you go until the end. A truly brilliant, action packed novel that I highly recommend.
