 A brand new DCI Jude Satterthwaite crime mystery from the bestselling Jo Allen.

Synopsis:

 When one-hundred-year-old Violet Ross is found dead at Eden's End, a luxury care home hidden in a secluded nook of the Lake District's Eden Valley it's tragic, of course, but not unexpected.

Except for the instantly recognisable look in her lifeless eyes... that of pure terror. DCI Jude Satterthwaite heads up the investigation, but as the deaths start to mount up it's clear that he, and DS Ashleigh O'Halloran need to uncover a long-buried secret before the killer strikes again...

Review:

 The second in the Lake District-set, DCI Jude Satterthwaite series, this book can be read as a stand alone book, thanks to the bits of background given by the author, that don't give away the plot of the original book in the series. This is an interesting mystery, as it starts out with what appears to be a normal death. But little things seem amiss, and when added together, make for a potential for murder. As Jude's team takes on the possible incident, things take a roll, and the mystery deepens. This is a new series to sink your teeth into, so don't miss it!
