Another excellent novel by Kate Ellis,
By
This review is from: The Blood Pit (Wesley Peterson Series) (Hardcover)
The basic stoyline is that a body had been found drained of blood and it's up to Wesley Petersen to find who, what and why.The story is well put together and there isn't a wasted word in my opinion! Bit by bit titbits of information are revealed but it had me stumped right up to the end. A thoroughly entertaining and well plotted crime novel. I really enjoyed this book, and am eagerly awaiting the next one in the series!

Tense and scary crime story,
By
This review is from: The Blood Pit: The Wesley Peterson Series: Book 12 (The Wesley Peterson Murder Mysteries) (Kindle Edition)
Neil Watson has received some strange anonymous letters which seem to relate to the archaeological dig on which he is currently occupied. They keep referring to blood and asking what happened to Brother William. Even Neil is spooked by them and not much normally worries him. His friend DI Wesley Peterson is fully occupied with the horrific murder of a local business man and he does not pay as much attention to Neil's worries about the letters as perhaps he should be doing.Then another man is murdered in a similar fashion and Neil discovers what appears to be evidence of the regular blood-letting of the monks who formerly owned the site he is investigating. Both Neil and Wesley start to think there are far too many references to blood around; and Gerry Heffernan - Wesley's boss - is worried that the local paper seems to have inside information about how the investigation is progressing. I thought this book was perhaps the most disturbing so far in the series and there is a thoroughly eerie feeling to the whole story. It is far from clear who is the murderer and the majority of readers will be left as much in the dark as the police are until very close to the end of the book. The dramatic ending is one of the best I've read so far in this series. If you want believable characters and dialogue and a complex plot with a historical dimension then this is a book worth trying. The books can be read in any order but if you want to follow the development of the characters and their personal lives then the books are best read in the order in which they were published starting with The Merchant's House (The Wesley Peterson Series)

The bloodiest and the best,
By
This review is from: The Blood Pit: The Wesley Peterson Series: Book 12 (Paperback)
I've read most of Ellis's Wesley Peterson series and this surpasses all the others and I could give 6 stars for this. Sheer brilliance of plot with so much action, twists, turns, red herrings. Lots of development of background - Pam's ongoing change of attitude, Wesley's sister's new marriage to Mark, Gerry's relations with Joyce and his daughter. Pretty descriptions of the delightful area around Dartmouth. Then there are the crimes - bloodthirsty and very different, involving Neil in stress which he doesn't usually suffer from. Amazing. A tremendous read if you like action. This will keep you guessing right to the end.
