But this grim discovery feels like too much of a coincidence: could the person who put the body in her hut be the same man who wants her dead?

I\u2019ve been a fan for years, since long before she started to write crime thrillers. She\u2019s a go-to author for me so I was delighted when her short story was this month\u2019s Bonus Short Read. I enjoyed <em>Beach Hut 152 <\/em>a lot. It\u2019s more of a novella than a short story due to it\u2019s length. There are some flashbacks to the past when Sims was targeted by a serial killer and I found myself wondering if it was the same person destroying the beach huts. I enjoyed all of the twists and turns. I\u2019d recommend this.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">4\/5<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t<!-- .entry-footer --><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When vandals destroy beach hut 512 on Brighton\u2019s iconic seafront, they reveal a dead body that has apparently lain undisturbed for two months.
