About Book: Solve a murder, bring a killer to justice... but at what cost?
Harry Probert-Lloyd, a young barrister forced home from London by encroaching blindness, has begun work as the acting coroner of Teifi Valley with solicitor's clerk John Davies as his assistant.
When a faceless body is found on an isolated beach, Harry must lead the inquest. But his dogged pursuit of the truth begins to ruffle feathers. Especially when he decides to work alongside a local doctor with a dubious reputation and experimental theories considered radical and dangerous.
Refusing to accept easy answers might not only jeopardise Harry's chance to be elected coroner permanently, but could, it seems implicate his own family in a crime.
My thoughts: Alis Hawkins quickly became a much loved author and ‘In Two Minds’ has not disappointed me. This is book 2 of 4 in the Teifi Valley Coroner series and Alis brings to life the Teifi valley so much so you almost feel you are there with the characters. The characters are well thought out and Harry and John pull you in to their own issues as well of those in the plot. There are so many strands running through this book that it keeps you enthralled all of the way through.  Alis knows her subject matter and that shines through and makes the book all the more interesting as I have learnt so much. I am definitely going to read all of those in the series and can’t recommend this book highly enough.
