About this listen

 The smell back here is the smell of something rotten, worse than the blood on my clothes … I’d scream if I could but my voice catches in my throat. I stumble back and the shapes follow me, stretching high above me and I fall, my ankle twisting, my arms grabbing onto nothing and above me there’s only the height and the stone as my head smashes onto the floor. In the first of the Burrowhead Mysteries, an atmospheric murder investigation unearths the brutal history of a village where no one is innocent. When psychotherapist Alexis Cosse is found murdered in the playground of the sleepy northern village of Burrowhead, DI Strachan and her team of local police investigate, exposing a maelstrom of racism, misogyny and homophobia simmering beneath the surface of the village. Shaken by the revelations and beginning to doubt her relationship with her husband, DI Strachan discovers something lurking in the history of Burrowhead, while someone – or something – equally threatening is hiding in the strange and haunted cave beneath the cliffs …©2020 Helen Sedgwick (P)2020 Bolinda Publishing Crime Fiction Mystery Suspense Fiction Village

Intimate, dark and keeps you guessing.

Just finished this fantastic book and what a ride it was!

The book really draws you into the characters and keeps you second guessing what you think you know.

I feel like many of the books themes are drawn on the current political climate. It’s not something I was expecting but really made me think about how we as a society don’t normally question ourselves or challenge ourselves to grow. It’s easy to give into hate, but luckily we have Georgie pushing forward to fight the good fight.

Very gripping from start to finish, I’d highly recommend to anyone.
