AndiReads's Reviews > Return to Blood

Following the events of Better than Blood, Police Detective Hana Westerman turned in her badge and returned to her hometown. She does her best to make right with her Māori kin and works to move on from the job that haunts her. When a body is found nearby by her own daughter, she is thrown directly back into dealing with murder. There are similarities to the murder of her classmate in school, an event that helped inspire her to enter law enforcement. Can she stand by while the professionals try to solve this?

Plenty of police procedural and plenty of family drama! This is a story that is not to be missed. If you love learning about other cultures or have traveled to New Zealand, this is a novel for you! Bennett does an excellent job of creating multiple interesting female characters as well as cultural background that moves the story forward.
