Welsh detective Winter Meadows takes on a new murder case
There were a lot of things you could call Stacey Evans. And many of them would be true. And unprintable. But did she deserve to be murdered?
DI Winter Meadows has no doubt of the answer when he takes on the case. The crime was violent. The victim helpless. But the motives are many, and the only clue is a strange word left on Stacey’s body.
DI Meadows struggles to pierce the secrecy surrounding the teenager’s busy love life. Was the killer one of her pursuers acting out of jealousy? Maybe someone’s wife seeking revenge?
But as each suspect is excluded from the enquiry, and other markings turn up, Meadows is convinced that something more sinister is afoot.
When another body is found, a veil of silence descends like a fog upon Gaer Fawr. What more will it take for the village to give up its secrets?

Review:
A Knot of Sparrows by Cheryl Rees-Price is the fourth book in this series. It can definitely be read as a stand alone, but I would love to go back and read the other books.
This is a gritty, crime thriller. It’s a short read, that was fast paced. I enjoyed the thrill of the story, and because it was on the shorter side, it kept me on the edge of my seat.
It was satisfying, with relatable and believable characters. I loved the comrades between DI Winter Meadows and his team. It helped me to really immerse myself in the story.
Overall, A Knot of Sparrows was entertaining and gripping. I’d recommend it to crime thriller lovers!
