'Excellent mystery tale.' (PETERBOROUGH EVENING TELEGRAPH )
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
It's Halloween and a body has been found at Druids Altar, a local beauty spot high on Harden Moor. The victim is Shayla Richards, a young black girl, and the post-mortem reveals she was suffocated and sexually assaulted; photographs of her body at the crime-scene suggest a ritual sacrifice. DI John Handford and DS Khalid Ali soon discover that Shayla's past is anything but straightforward. Over a year before her death, she accused a teacher of a sexual attack while in school. Although the teacher was suspended, the case collapsed when it came to trial. Then events take a more sinister turn when Handford discovers his prime suspect seems to be a man without a past. In fact, he doesn't even appear to exist...

Lesley Horton just goes on getting better and better! "Devils in the Mirro" is a complete story in itself, but for those who have followed Handforth, Khalid and Warrender before, we learn more and more about their backgrounds, chacters and the difficulties they and their families face. Lesley Horton knows her gritty northern towns so well, you can almost smell the dirt, the take-aways and the multi-racial chatter of the inhabitants. She knows her girls, too. Kerry is, sadly, so true to life, as is her uncle, and Shayla's family. I just can't wait for the next book!

I bought a second-hand book for 1p. It was in excellent condition.
The story was good, and I am looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Police procedurals usually suffer from a lack of flow. That horrible bit in the middle of the book where the police are nibbling nails or going round in circles. I defy anyone to find any lack of PACE (geddit?)in this un-putdownable book! Even when you have put it down the images will stay with you haunting and unhappy.Thank goodness D I Handford isn't dysfunctional! More a Wexford.
