Description
Million-copy-bestselling author Kate Ellis returns with the next book in the DI Wesley Peterson series.
November. With the tourist season well and truly over in South Devon, Detective Inspector Wesley Peterson is looking forward to a quieter month in the CID. But when a man is shot dead on Bonfire Night, he finds he has a disturbing and complex murder case on his hands.
The body of Patrick North was found in woodland connected to Nesbaraton Hall, a grand estate dating back to the eighteenth century. North worked for the Smithson family who now own the estate. The family are away on holiday, however when an anonymous letter threatening to abduct the Smithson son is uncovered, Wesley fears North's death might have been collateral damage in a sinister kidnap plot.
Meanwhile, archaeologist Dr Neil Watson discovers a hidden grotto in a developer's field - land that was once part of the Nesbaraton estate. Evidence of past rituals and the shocking discovery of a skeleton buried next to the grotto raise questions about strange occurrences, past and present, on the estate that was once owned by a notorious privateer.
Then, just when Wesley's team seem to be making progress in their investigation, a resident of the nearby village is killed in a near identical shooting. A race is on to find the ruthless killer, before they strike again...
Ce que les critiques en disent
"A beguiling author who interweaves past and present." (The Times)
"I absolutely loved this book... A perfectly paced crime novel that beautifully evokes both time and place. Kate Ellis keeps you guessing all the way through to the final unexpected twist." (L. C. Tyler)
"A splendidly macabre thriller with a very dark heart and a hugely effective twist at the end." (Andrew Taylor)

Standard
It's the average story set up in the typical style for this series. No surprises. Hope springs eternal that after 25+ books the author will give the lead character a personality other than nice and polite. That is the worst part of the series, the entire lack of depth and emotion in the lead characters. Without it, the books have become fill in blanks stories. Pick period and novelty instrument in past, write similar crime in present - reveal. No bother giving characters storylines outside the parameters.
