She and her team work incredibly well together on the whole though, complimenting each other and all the while talking things through. The investigation wasn’t at all as straightforward as I thought it would be when I first started reading. Many times, I was convinced I had the whole thing figured out, only to be proven wrong. Living about an hour and a half away from where this book is sited ad the fact my partner was born there, made it a lot more interesting for me. Set in Southend and the local area, it tells of a cold case that is re-opened by detective Inspector Grace Fisher.
After interviewing a friend of Heather on his blog he was found murdered. Wrong Way Home is the fourth instalment in the DI Grace Fisher series, a wee detail I didn’t actually know when I signed up for the blog tour. So once again, I find myself breaking my own rule of never starting a series anywhere else but with book one.
Stop Loading Your Dishwasher the Wrong Way. Here's How to Do It
Try out the other games first so you can understand how the cars handle, and how to detect a wrong turning that could potentially derail your track design. Not so much a whodunnit, but atale of likeable and realistic officers closing the net on the purpetrator of a cold case which has been resurrected. The book was made all the more enjoyable for being set in Southend on Sea - a place I know well. Characters were well drawn and you can see why Grey is such a prolific and successful screenwriter for many TV dramas. I didn't realise that it was book 4 of a series, which isn't a bad thing as I didn't feel as though I was missing anything from previous books and was able to follow the characters really well.
I loved the music recommendations at the beginning of each chapter. A young want-to-be-journalist who was born on the night that the re-opened rape and murder took place, has a podcast and is now looking into the same crime that was previously forgotten by the police. He has an older journalist keeping an eye on him, and they both get closer to death than they want as they delve into the past. Ivo has a friendship with DI Grace Fisher, but Ivo is hiding his own secret from that time. Wow, this was another excellent read from Isabelle Grey.
Preview — Wrong Way Home
There are surprises along the way but mostly it has a momentum that pulls the reader along for the ride. It builds on a strong start and keeps going in the same vein to reach a satisfying conclusion. Grace has been investigating the unsolved rape and murder of Heather Bowyer in 1992 and now, thanks to new forensic techniques, she has identified familial DNA which she hopes will lead to the perpetrator. Coincidentally, aspiring journalist Freddie Craig is also looking into Heather's case and enlists the help of Fleet Street journalist Ivo Sweatman. Huge thanks to Anne Cater and Quercus books for my copy of the book and for inviting me onto the blog tour.
If you are looking for a book that combines travel writing with dry humor, than look no further than the work of this Aussie backpacker. I came across his name while traveling myself - I asked one of my fellow travelers if she could recommend a funny travel writer, and she suggested Moore. In this book the author sets off from London at some point in the late 1990s, determined to get home to Sydney by an overland route and without getting on a plane.

This was the first journey I took with Peter Moore, and it was a hell of a trip.... It was everything you want to have when you go on a nine months trip around the world. OK, so China was a bit long, but it's a big country after all!!! There were moments when I wanted to applaud Moore for his choice to travel home overland, and there were times when he did monumentally stupid things and I wanted to slap some sense into him.

Overall this was highly readable as ever and a really really great story told wonderfully well. What I love most about these is the beautiful plotting that keeps things unexpected, the exploration of relationships and the wonderfully immersive settings. The popular podcast theme is back here too and very well done, as one character, Freddie, tries to make a name for himself. I loved Grace, she's one kick ass female detective who's intuition and gut instinct is ballsy and fierce. DI Grace Fisher has set her sights on catching a rapist/murderer of a cold case from 25years ago.
It brought back memories of back packing in China in 1990. You made me remember the frustration of trying to arrange anything there in those days. Days there were either very hard or very rewarding. It is bringing back a lot of great memories of a trip I did in the 1998 in the other direction, from India to Jersey by Enfield motorcycle. Just finished ‘The Wrong Way Home’ – 20 years late, I know – but I loved it.
The writing was fantastic and instantly drew me in. There was plenty of well thought-out characters and a juicy twisting plot made this the perfect Crime Thriller. What I loved was the detective side of this book.
The two teenage boys who accidently started the fire with a cigarette were saved by the quick thinking of taxi driver Larry Nixon. I love the DI Grace Fisher series and was excited to read the fourth book in this series. Grace finds her investigation shadowed by a young true-crime podcaster backed by veteran crime reporter Ivo Sweatman. Pressure mounts and she knows that a cold-blooded killer is slowly being backed into a corner, and that a cornered predator is often the most dangerous of all... I love to travel and I thought I would love this book but it was lacking in any real insight or wisdom. Just kind of a travel log about an interesting trip.
Through a series of podcasts, he sets out on his own investigation into the murder and the mind of a rapist and murderer. Local reporter Ivo Steadman is happy to help out this budding journalist but things quickly turn rather creepy. The mom of one of the victims of a triple deadly crash in Volusia County said her son was loved by everyone he met. Theresa Moser said her son Kyle Moser had just turned 25 and was the youngest of her five children. The crash also took the life of Alexandra Dulin, a popular social media influencer known as "Ali Spice."
There were moments that were totally mindblowing because 1994 doesn't seem like THAT long ago, and yet so much about the world has changed. And there were moments that made me go "Thank Christ we don't have to do that any more". Yes, buying international phone cards to be able to contact your family, I'm looking at you. A deadly hit-and-run crash that killed three people early Sunday morning involving a wrong-way driver is gaining international attention. James Dulin confirmed to FOX 35 News on Tuesday that his daughter, Alexandra, was one of the victims. The 21-year-old woman was a popular influencer across social media known as "Ali Spice" with a presence on a number of platforms including TikTok and Instagram.
Not his best book that I have read yet but still good. I did have to put it down and stop reading it for about two weeks and then came back to it and enjoyed it even more when I came back to it. I have two of his other books to read but these are in paperback. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Good plot but if it had been an audiobook it would have been read in a monotone.
What struck me the most though, is how Isabelle Grey never loses track of the victims in all of this. How events have affected them, how they’re dealing with things. It added an extra layer you don’t always find in this genre, which I found just as absorbing as the actual investigation. This is part of a series about Grace Fisher and, as often happens, I came into book 4 without having read the previous ones. This book can easily be read as a stand- alone.
