Received this from NetGalley.

A retired judge is shot outside a local pub in northern England. The shooter was seen by a witness. When DCI Jim Oldroyd and his team arrive on the scene, they learn the identity of the shooter only to discover the shooter has disappeared. When continuing their investigation, they find that the judge did have some enemies but did they dislike him enough to kill him and where did the killer go?

I bought this first in a series as a Kindle deal and wanted to read it this month, as the next few in the series are also on sale this month. I figured if I liked it enough to continue, I'd snap the others up. That won't be happening.

This mystery suffered from too many characters, flat writing, and too much information kept from the reader and then miraculously disclosed at the end. It's a lazy approach for a writer, but I might have forgiven it if the characters hadn't been two dimensional and boring.

Fantastic fast-paced read with realistic characters and life situations. Easy to stand alone but I really like this bunch of coppers, especially DCI Oldroyd! In addition to being a wonderful mystery/procedural read, this history geek really loved learning about the basic terminology of beer making and lots about the brewery history in Yorkshire.
I requested and received a free ebook copy from Amazon Publishing UK, Thomas & Mercer via NetGalley. Thank you!

A pretty good plot, but there was a lot of fluff around the characters that didn't really contribute to the story. Perhaps its a setup for the rest of the series, but I found it just distracted from the story.
