Tipped off by an overheard conversation at an exclusive London nightclub, she begins to investigate the apparent suicide of a wealthy young British man, whose death has left his fiancée and family devastated.

Casey’s determined hunt for the truth will take her from the glitz of St-Tropez to the deserts of Libya and on to the very darkest corners of the human mind.

Review:

I’ve heard so much about To The Lions, and I’ve wanted to read it for a long time. It did not disappoint and I was immediately taken in by Watt’s wonderfully descriptive writing. Throughout their investigation, Casey and her team travel to several different countries and I was transported to their locations every time.

To The Lions is the beginning of an intriguing new series featuring Casey Benedict. I enjoyed getting to know her, and I loved her intelligence and ambition. I think there is still much more for us to learn about her and I look forward to seeing what Watt has in store for her.

As the novel reaches its end, Watt allows the tension to build and there is a definite sense of danger as it is clear that Casey’s investigation involves taking a few risks. I was on the edge of my seat wondering if Casey and her team would be safe.

To The Lions is available from Amazon.
