An invitation to stay with childhood friends seems an excellent idea to aid Helena's recovery after her cancer treatment. Helena grew up with the Hickmans and had spent many happy holidays with them. The fact that they live in a castle surrounded by forest makes it an even more perfect spot to recuperate.

But when a man is found burned to death in a car, the apparently irrelevant though horrific incident creates unexpected disturbances. Helena and Eisenmenger, caught in the middle of it all, cannot understand why. But the unpleasantness grows and worse is to come, for secrets are unearthed that concern not only the Hickmans, but also Helena and her past.

Critic reviews

"A dark, densely imagined world in the demanding tradition of P. D. James." ( Kirkus Reviews)
All stars
Most relevant
I'm listening to the series in chronological order and definitely recommend doing this to get the best out of each book as knowing what has happened to the three main characters in the past is often important to understanding the current story. This 4th book in the series is a gripping thriller that answers some of the questions that have been left hanging from the early novels.
Part of the pleasure of these booksis the sardonic style of writing full of ascerbic asides and colourful similes to tickle ones imagination, though I did feel the author overdid this at times. Nevetheless, I was gripped by the story and will certainly continued with the series.

Another riveting forsenic thriller

Reasonable story - very poor editing. Cringe making sex scenes. Apparently you have to have fifteen words in a review and see above

You have to have a headline

Loved the book , they must be read in sequence to benefit fully
Sean Barrett is the best narrator I look for his work to find good books to listen to
The author, having the benefit of a better education than I, uses words I need to look up in the dictionary,, this is a good thing as I learn from him and I like that.

For lovers of language and good plots
