A mystery that sweeps the nation
People disappear all the time, but this case sparks an online frenzy. Amateur investigators descend on the rural idyll. Everyone has a theory. Is Claire Davidson just the story of a swim that went wrong, or could there be truth to the conspiracies?
A killer growing bolder
But when another woman is discovered dead in the river, signs point to murder. Jake Jackson, a former detective who came to the countryside searching for peace, must investigate before more lives are taken.
Review:
This is book 4 in the series, which just seems to be getting better and better! As we get to know more about Jake and his friends in his new life, the real world, with its influencers and appetite for true crime impedes into the happy cocoon he has made for his new family, and once again, he will need help from unlikely sources, and old friends, to solve the riddle of a dead woman, who got to close to the truth and threatened to upend his new life. A twisty entry, the author does a great job in keeping each book fresh, as each one takes on another season of life in the country. Don't miss this series, and this book, if you love a good mystery!
About the Author:
Stig Abell believes that discovering a crime fiction series to enjoy is one of the great pleasures in life. His first novel, Death Under A Little Sky, introduced Jake Jackson and his attempt to get away from his former life in the beautiful area around Little Sky, followed by Death in a Lonely Place and The Burial Place. Stig is absolutely delighted that there are more on the way. Away from books, he presents the breakfast show on Times Radio, a station he helped to launch in 2020. Before that he was a regular presenter on Radio 4’s Front Row and was the editor and publisher of the Times Literary Supplement. He lives in London with his wife, three children and two independent-minded cats called Boo and Ninja (his children named them, obviously).
