Description from Goodreads:
"On a wild and stormy night on England’s south coast, ambitious young police constables Rutherford Barnes and Harriet Holden are doing the rounds when they see a burglar fleeing the scene of the crime.
And it’s Harriet’s house. The ground floor is ransacked. Scrawled in red across one wall are the words: DEAD COPS SLEEP LONG.
Then a few days later, Harriet’s battered body is discovered in a shabby seafront hotel.
Newly promoted to Detective, Barnes vows to discover who killed his partner, and why.
Harriet had a dark secret. As Barnes uncovers a layer of corruption which threatens to expose people at the highest levels of the force, he has a terrible choice to make: justice for Harriet — or his career."

A new series and author for me and one I enjoyed and look forward to reading more of in the future.
With a gritty plot and excellent and well developed characters, this is a great addition to the police procedural genre. The pace is a little steady to begin with and it took me a while to get into it, but it certainly ramps up to what is a tense and very satisfying finish.
Thanks go to Joffe Books and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of Devil's Chimney.
