Stuart Pawson had a career as a mining engineer, followed by a spell working for the probation service, before he became a full-time writer. He lives in the village of Fairburn, in Yorkshire only about four or five miles from where I live myself. A place I regularly visit to look at the bird sanctuary there with all the water birds and a welcome pint in the Bay Horse.
This is the eighth book in the DI Charlie Priest series: When Colinette Jones fails to return home and a body turns up not more than half a mile from her house DI Priest knows he has to make that house call that every mother dreads, and every copper for that matter. Further a field Laura Heeley is also found dead down a country lane, the only sign of violence on the body, a single stab wound.
Is there a link between the two young women, apart, that is from their unfortunate death? And what if anything is the link with a sixties rock star? In a small town to all intents and purposes cut off by the foot and mouth outbreak DI Priest knows that he must apprehend the killer before he or she strikes again.

As in all his books,Stuart Pawson keeps you well entertained until the last page.Charlie Priest feels like a good friend at the end of a book,I'm always sorry we have to part.Looking forward to his next case.
Format:Paperback
If you like Peter Robinson you will love this. First book I have read from this author and I will be getting more. Twists, turns, frustrations, highs, lows - you are with Charlie Priest all the way. He is a great character - honourable without being a saint; deep thinking without being morose. Some humour relieves the dark subject. Loved it! Going to order more right now!
