This is a new to me author and I thoroughly enjoyed their work. Even though it's book 9 I didn't feel out of the loop. Dr Lane is an interesting character, I'll assume he assists the police when it comes to Ritualistic Behavioural Crimes.
A unique murder in a small village. Villagers who tell the same story. Something suspicious is happening here.
I really enjoyed the way the author wove this tale as pieces started to fall into place. I do like the way it ended, it would seem that karma took care of justice.
Great story, I look forward to looking at more from this series.
The tangy smell of smoke hangs heavy in the air, mingling with the early morning mist. As it lifts, a shape emerges in the centre of the tranquil meadow. A scarecrow? No… rising from the ashes of a dying fire, stands a blackened wooden cross – and tied to it, the dark outline of a body.
When a woman is found burnt at the stake on the edge of a pretty English village, the police suspect this is no ordinary murder. Dr Harrison Lane, Head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, is quickly summoned to unravel the mystery.
As Harrison investigates, he uncovers a web of deceit woven through the tight-knit community of Thistleford. The villagers claim the victim, Louise Swift, was a gifted psychic, beloved by all… but Harrison immediately senses darker forces at play.
When another body is discovered at nearby Harmony House, home to a group of reclusive ex-convicts seeking redemption, the case takes a sinister turn. Are the deaths connected? And does the house harbour more potential victims… or something far more dangerous?
As Harrison races to catch the killer, he must confront his own demons, re-awakened by this grisly case. Can he see through the lies all around him and unmask the evil hiding in Thistleford before it's too late?
