Summary

A beautiful island scarred by the defences from centuries of war.

Secrets hidden in the blood of generations.

A past that refuses to stay buried.

Detective Winter Labey is called to a historic German bunker abandoned after the occupation of the island of Jersey, where tourists have discovered the concealed body of a prominent local figure. Was the execution-style murder connected to the Nazi graffiti daubed on the walls of his tomb?

Winter calls on forensic psychologist Saskia Monet, whose own childhood gives her a unique understanding of the darkest recesses of the human mind.

As Saskia and Winter delve into the case, they unravel a web of secrets the victim had desperately tried to keep hidden from his family. Secrets that, once exposed, could shatter the lives of those closest to him.

Just as they make a major breakthrough, there’s another murder in chillingly similar circumstances. Except now, it’s one of their suspects. Time is quickly running out to catch the killer before they strike again…

A totally gripping and heart-pounding thriller that will have you up listening late into the night! Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, LJ Ross, Rachel McLean and J M Dalgliesh.

Oh my gosh she did it again

Another ending that makes me want to read the next book.
Another murder and the mystery around it well written leaving the reader (me) absolutely satisfied.
Highly recommend

Excellent and Gripping

A brilliant storyline written by someone who obviously knows the island well. The narration was well done, too. I was hooked from the first page to the last and was kept guessing about the murderer until the reveal. This is an excellent series, and I can't wait for the next book.

Disappointing

The storyline is interesting but the dynamic between the two main characters just makes me squirm. Far too much, do I love him/her, should I love him/her, he/she is wonderful but unattainable/isn’t interested.
In the first book I enjoyed the Jersey setting which I thought was well described but here, the setting seemed irrelevant.
I won’t read any more of this series, not my kind of book.

This was not as good as her first book. Didn't think much of the plot.
