The Last Party

Rhys Lloyd, co-owner of a ritzy vacation area, is found floating dead in the lake. Friends, family, and community members of the small village were gathered there for a New Year's Eve party. The copper assigned, along with a great number of others have hidden secrets that may or may not give them a reason to have been involved in his demise.

This book did not get going until over halfway through the book. And then the author spilled secret after secret and twist after twist. There was way too much going on. It was hard to keep up and too much to be believed. The truth that came out about the murder was treated lightly and the story kept going on, adding and wrapping up less important things.

I felt I had whiplash going back and forth from historical happenings to the present day. The main character's name (Ffion) was a distraction to me. It seemed to be a speedbump slowing down my reading along with a lot of foreign words, sometimes breaking off into paragraphs of them. I won't be reading a DC Morgan #2.
