I would like to thank NetGalley and The Overlook Press for an advanced copy of A Change of Circumstance by Susan Hill for an honest review. This is the 11th installment of the Simon Serrailler series. I have read the whole series thus far and can honestly say that it is one of my favorite series that I look forward to reading. Susan Hill is a master of characterization and storytelling. The Serrailler Family characters seem like members of your own family. Simon, a son of two doctors, is a Detective Chief Superintendent of the Lafferton Police. Simon's sister, Cat Deerbon, has three children and is now married to Chief Constable Kieron Bright. She is a General Practitioner in the National Health Society. When a young man dies of a heroine overdose, Simon realizes that a drug network has infiltrated the local schools. Will Simon be able to crush this network and keep Lafferton save from the drugs? The plot is dark and gripping and the story keeps the pages turning until the very end. Simon's personal life is also a major part of the book as Rachel Wyatt, Simon's ex-lover, returns to Lafferton. Can't wait to read the next installment in order to see where this relationship is going. Susan Hill knows how to keep you invested in this series. If you like crime novels with family drama, then you will enjoy this series.
