Better Left Dead (#2 DI Nyree Bradshaw) | Catherine Lea

DI Nyree Bradshaw and her team have their work cut out for them once again.

Local woman Lizzy Bean has been found dead, garrotted with a piece of wire. Lizzy’s property, a 1970s beach house overlooking a pristine Northland bay, is overflowing with rubbish. Inside, the house is even worse.

As Nyree and her team delve into the case, clues begin to reveal an intricate web of connections involving a local crime syndicate, a kidnapped woman, and a group of ex-foster children haunted by the past. Meanwhile, Nyree’s own past is catching up with her.

Forever racked by guilt that she has failed her son who is currently in prison for murder, Nyree might finally get a chance to redeem herself in his eyes . . . but it comes at a steep cost.
