Publisher's Summary

Recovering on a remote Scottish island, his peace doesn’t last long. He is pulled in to a murder inquiry by the overstretched local police. A newcomer, popular with the islanders, has died in perplexing circumstances. The community's reactions are complicated and fragile.

It’s good to be back on the job. And when Simon returns to Lafferton, an arsonist is on the rampage and a woman whose daughter disappeared some years before is haunting the police station seeking closure. She will not let it rest, and Simon is called in to do a cold-case review.

At home, Simon is starting to get used to having a new brother-in-law - in the form of his Chief Constable Kieron Bright. His sister Cat has embarked on a new way of practising medicine, and his nephew Sam is trying to work out what to do with his life. And then their tricky father, Richard, turns up again like a bad penny.

In this gripping new Serrailler thriller, Simon's personal and professional lives intertwine in more complex and demanding ways than ever before.

Hmm.

Perhaps the current cultural climate has made me hypersensitive, but I saw an issue with The Comforts of Home, the eighth book in the Serrailler series. It has to do with Simon’s decision on how to proceed with a murder on the Scottish island, which seems to depend too much on the nature of the victim and the circumstances of the killing. Makes one wonder...

Aside from that, this isn't as good as most of the others in the series. It's kind of a hodgepodge of disparate themes. Sometimes author Hill makes that work brilliantly; in this case she does not.
