The police are called to a sadistic attack in Spigg’s Wood in the quiet Essex countryside. Meg Rusher, mother of three, and erstwhile kickboxing champion, has shot and wounded one man and seriously injured another. In self-defence, she claims. The men and the evidence at the scene contradict this. DI Hal Hedley and his team investigate, but their discoveries lead to injustice and death.


First in the Elversford Mysteries set in Essex.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much harping on about the legalities of self-defence 10 Mar 2012
By P. Evans
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found 'Death in Spigg's Wood' to be an OK read, hence the three stars. I would perhaps have given it four if it weren't for the constant hammering home of the legal issues surrounding self-defence; I found this repetitive and irritating. Say something once and the point is made. Say it twice and you've reinforced the point. Say it 50 times and it becomes really, really tedious. It's a pity because, otherwise, the book is quite well written

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT! 11 Sep 2012
By Simon Smith
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I could not put this excellent thriller down; carrying the Kindle around the house to read it and frantically looking for a charging lead one night in my bed side cabinet when the lack of power threatened to prematurely end my reading.

What a fantastic story. I have some experience with courtrooms ( on the justice side) and the feeling was just right; conjuring up exactly the right tension and frantic bustle of both Magistrates and Crown Courts in England. The villains were horrible and you wanted them to get caught. The centre character is so well described both physically and emotionally that you engage with her with empathy and will her to be all right to the end.

Very, very well written indeed.......I will read more from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't put it down 27 April 2012
By Gillian Rollins
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I got this free ages ago and it had been sat in my archives but I was gripped right from the beginning.A real treat. Amazing story and I never quite worked out who was the baddie for a while but it still kept me enthralled. The last 25% It sorta changed plot/thread and I lost it slightly then realised what it was all about. Went straight onto amazon and got her next novel Death in Flitbury Marshes. Hope that's just as good

I have struggled with this book. The first chapters were very repetitive with Meg being accused by police and repeating her story time and again. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Twists and turns to keep you intrigued
An amateur style of writing that is quite endearing. For a dread, surprisingly good syntax. I was intrigued from fairly early on, though my sister claims it was too slow for her. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected
This wasn't the book I thought I had purchased. It is not a crime story in the conventional sense although I'm not quite sure how I would categorise it. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars It was free - but I still feel robbed
For the first few pages I thought I'd stumbled on a pastiche - nobody could write something this poor and expect it to be taken seriously. I was wrong. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars such a gripping read
I'm a readaholic, but at the moment I'm in a space where I'm finding it hard to concentrate on most books, so this had to be good to hold my interest. And it is good. Read more
