Five friends meet. Only four come home. On Christmas morning, DS
Robin Butler has no plans to celebrate. He'll be glad to get back
to work - a wish that comes true sooner than he anticipates. A dog
walker at a local beach has discovered five unresponsive people
strewn across the shingle. By the time Robin arrives, one is
pronounced dead, and the other four are being treated in hospital.
DC Freya West is less than pleased when the romantic day with her
boyfriend is scuppered, but duty calls. As she and Butler speak to
those involved, it's clear something is being left unsaid. They
claim they are friends, and that they don't know how one of the
group was killed. But why are they so cagey? A cold case
investigation unlocks some answers about the history between the
beach-going gang, yet they're tight-lipped about what prompted them
to meet on Christmas Eve. Butler and West are getting nowhere, and
their partnership is about to face another test. When Freya wants
to come clean about events in her past, it's not just her neck on
the line, but Robin's too. Can their relationship survive if their
pact of silence is broken? The thrilling new instalment from
policing's most dauntless duo. Perfect for fans of Cara Hunter,
Jane Casey and Susie Steiner. Praise for Blink of an Eye 'A
thrilling and unusual mystery, spiced with sadness, masterfully
unspooling past secrets into present danger. Butler and West would
make high quality Sunday night network television.' Dominic Nolan,
author of Vine Street 'Butler and West are fast becoming my
favourite detective partnership... Addictive reading!' Alison
Belsham, author of The Tattoo Thief 'The untangling of the
long-held web of lies from The Five was expertly done... the story
telling seems so effortlessly easy, and before you know it, you're
chapters in and can't stop.' Fliss Chester, author of A Dangerous
Goodbye 'Blink of an Eye is a blindingly brilliant return to the
Butler and West series, with a tight-knit and claustrophobic
friendship group at the core of its mystery. The chemistry between
detectives Freya and Robin is the absolute star of the show - the
twists and turns of their partnership will leave you desperate for
more. Cannot recommend this series enough!' Heather Critchlow 'I've
just raced through Blink of an Eye and couldn't put it down. A
Christmas Day body found on a beach, and a suspicious group of old
friends... What's not to love! Tense, brilliant plotting and the
perfect duo.' Rachael Blok, author of The Fall 'A punchy and pacy
police procedural with heart.' Jo Furniss, author of All The Little
Children 'One of the best detective series there is. Smooth,
thrilling and full of emotion, this series of books are a
must-read!' James Delargy, author of Vanished 'Great characters and
a compelling mystery. Highly recommend.' Reader review 'Blink of an
Eye, the fourth in Butler and West series, is one of the most
intriguing British police procedurals published today.' Reader
review 'A solid mystery with a tangled web at heart, perfectly
crafted characters and a smart narrative. Both compelling and
immersive.' Reader review 'So perfectly paced and boy do the
jaw-dropping moments never cease. Superbly done.' Reader review
