DI April Maxwell is like a dog with a bone especially when there's a case to solve or a criminal to catch. She lives for her job and she's bloody good at it so when she is forced to take leave she can't think of anything worse. After the first day, she's bored and it seems her one and only solution is to, well, actually take a holiday. April packs a bag and heads to the New Forest to visit her family but when a boy band member turns up murdered, it isn't long before she's on the case. April makes it her mission to find out who killed Kai Williams whilst dealing with her over opinionated mother, a grieving teenage niece and gorgeous ex-boyfriend living next door. As she closes in on the killer, the killer closes in on her and the rivalry between April and her perfect little brother heats up. It becomes survival of the fittest but there's just one problem - April has never been very fit but she hasn't let a thing beat her yet. Accents and British spelling are used for this book.
