As for the story,it did hook me and keep me there,I wanted to carry on reading as needed to know what why who and how….all this was very cleverly revealed and I am being honest in saying I didn’t guess the killer LIVING ROOM Spacious living room with French doors to the rear elevation, side panel windows, feature fire pace with surround and radiators.

Senior Probation Officer Jeanette Macey is trying to keep things running as smoothly as possible as the police begin their investigation. They are not the only interested parties. In fact, Sloane Armstrong, freelance investigative journalist, with a focus on crime, takes a strong interest in the investigation, and stays as involved as possible. She is not the only one, as there is yet another person who has a vested interest in what is going on at Ripley House. The characters including Investigative Crime Journalist Sloane and nosy neighbor Helen were dislikable. Jeanette: senior probation officer may be the only character you can connect with. The information on housing, people, culture, employment and education that is displayed about Ripley Avenue, Minster Lovell, Witney, OX29 0RP is based on the last census performed in the UK in 2021. Of course the neighbors were not happy about the existence of this place. The local residents and the neighbourhood watch scheme, run by Helen Burgess, had complained when they were first informed of the probation hostel location.

Noelle Holten's 6 Ripley Avenue is an intriguing stand-alone book that starts off with a bang. This is my first book by Holten, who has six books to her credit. Noelle Holten is the author of the best-selling Maggie Jamieson series. Jeanette Macey, the Senior Probation Officer who manages the hostel is informed of the discovery of Danny’s body in the middle of the night by her Probation Service Officers. The malfunction of the surveillance equipment, a result of neglect on the part of the service officers in charge, has worked in the murderer’s favor. But in a house full of criminals, one can only expect that law enforcement wouldn’t have to look too far to find the culprit. Noelle Holten takes a departure from her fabulous DC Maggie Jamieson series for this exciting, stand-alone thriller. 6 Ripley Avenue has all of the ingredients for a gripping novel where a murder takes place at Ripley House Approved Premises. One thing is for certain, either one of the ex-cons residing at the probation hostel or one of the staff committed the murder.

Ripley Avenue is a slow burn that builds to a satisfying conclusion. Noelle Holten spent eighteen years as a Senior Probation Officer and is well versed in writing criminal novels. She describes probation procedures with a wealth of knowledge. The characters are interesting and diverse. This was just ok for me. I liked the alternating POVs and the short chapters but it did not excite me or hold my attention.I found this one such an interesting concept and something a bit different and thought provoking to how I’d feel if this was my neighbourhood.

The story centers around a controversial hostel for high risk offenders who go their to serve out the rest of their sentence. When the unpopular Danny Wells is found murdered in the early morning hours, Jeanette the officer in charge is on serious damage control. The people in the neighborhood already aren’t happy about the hostel and this is going to make everything ten times worse.

When Jeanette Macey, the manager of the hostel, receives a call at 3:30 in the morning telling her that one of the residents has been murdered, suspicion falls on both residents and staff. The victim had not been liked by anyone, but murder is a bit extreme. The other residents are no angels, but murder? Jeanette is also concerned with the actions of her staff as well, and is wondering what each is hiding, for she is sure something is going on.BATHROOM Four piece bathroom suite including a fitted bath, WC, bidet and wash basin over vanity unit. Obscure window to the front and side elevation, housing around the boiler and heated towel rail. thank you netgalley, and HarperCollins UK one more chapter, and the author Noelle Holten for a copy of her book to review This is one tightly written book from a few different point of views and gives an excellent insight into the probation service, and just how ex-prisoners out on licence are treated and just what everything means. Also shows how various departments within the justice system can work together on occasion. I will have to look into the author's Maggie Jamieson series. I like the way she writes. The chapters alternate between different characters (including that of the killer), and the story is told in a very straight-forward manner. My only complaint was that it was a little slow, making it a rather long book. However the rather short chapters helped, and again, it still kept me interested\.

And things get escalated when one of the convicted criminals is killed brutally. Danny Wells had so many enemies and nobody wanted him to live! He already made his bed. Not only his fellow criminal residents but also the staff of probation premises may be involved in his murder case.

Currently home to several rather nasty and violent criminals including murderers, drug dealers and burglars. Jeanette the Manager of this hostel receives a call in the middle of the night that one of her residents has been murdered.
