Summary

Family ties. Buried lies. A life on the line.

Detective Sebastian Clifford and his partner Lucinda "Birdie" Bird are about to embark on their most challenging case yet when Lady Angelica Charing tasks them with finding the son she secretly gave away when she was only sixteen.

Time's running out. This long-lost son isn't just a missing puzzle piece; he's the last hope for a life-saving kidney transplant for his dying half-brother. The stakes couldn't be higher.

With the Charing family's reputation on the line, Clifford and Birdie must operate under the radar, cutting through years of concealed truths.

As the deadline approaches, they race to find the missing son and persuade him to make a life-altering choice. Can they solve the case and save a life before time runs out?

Dive into a world of hidden identities and urgent choices in Wake the Past.

A bit tame

My least favourite of the series. Felt all a bit too trite and the ending was predictable
Easy listening but not the best

The twist and turns

I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series , however I thought this book turned out a little to far fetched , the coincidences in the storyline maybe should have waited for another book

Interesting story

I love sally Rigby and this continues the Clifford/Birdie narrative with some surprising twists.
I love how she weaves the narrative of the main characters lives into the case narratives. Can’t wait for the next one!
