Summary

Don't miss the next gripping instalment in the Yorkshire Murder Series by bestselling British crime author Wes Markin

A lonely recluse. A missing girl and a community in fear.

When the body of a young local girl is found next to an isolated lake, the main suspect is the old recluse who has lived next to the lake for many years – especially when the young girl’s purse is found on the old man’s doorstep.

But DCI Emma Gardner and her partner DI Paul Riddick aren’t so sure. Why would the old hermit leave such an obvious clue? And who would want to set the old man up?

As they dig deeper into the murder they discover a community in fear, determined to keep hold of long buried secrets. And Riddick is convinced that his own dark past is somehow linked to this crime, too.

Gardner fears that she may never get the answers she needs, until a break leads her down a path she’d rather not face. One that runs directly to her own front door…

Don’t miss the brand-new gripping crime series by bestselling British crime author Wes Markin! Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, J M Dalgliesh and Rhys Dylan.

Well constructed narrative!

Got the first in this series as a freebie and am so glad I happened across it. The characters have really grown on me. All very likeable and work well with each other. Narration is outstanding. A fantastic, well constructed narrative that sustained my interest and raised intrigue throughout. Really looking gorward to the next installment.

Gripping as Always

I love the way the writer handles the characterisation in this series. The flawed main characters have me holding my breath and praying the truth stays out of harms way. Recommended

Lonely Lake

This second book in the Yorkshire murders series is brilliant. A girls body is found hugging a tree on the banks of a lake known locally as Lonely Lake, The D.I and her team have to pull out all the stops to try and find her killer, there is an obvious suspect but... Plenty of twists and turns and suspects in this exciting story. I really think Wes Markin has nailed it with this new series, can't wait for the next instalment. Aubrey Parsons does his usual superb job of narrating the story and brings everything to life. Highly recommended , would give 10 stars if possible.
