Product Description
Review
'a beguiling author who interweaves past and present. Like its predecessor... the book works well on both levels' The Times 'detective fiction with a historical twist - fans? will love it.' Scotland on Sunday 'moody mystery...a splendid piece of whodunnit, and when?' Newcastle Evening Chronicle 'a satisfying and enjoyable read' Martin Edwards
If you are a fan of Kate Ellis then 'The Plague Maiden' will be familiar territory. Set in a fictional area of Devon corresponding roughly to the Torbay area, the reader finds the eponymous hero Police Inspector Wesley Peterson, ably assisted by his love struck Detective Sergeant Rachel Tracey, following a convoluted path as they struggle to decipher the evidence and clues around them. When the local supermarket receives a strange threatening letter, the Inspector and colleagues find themselves under pressure from above to come up with results. Inevitably, skeletons, both metaphorical and actual are unearthed along the way as closets are opened, graves uncovered and crypts explored. With a 12th century murder, a body in a plague pit, a dead priest, various deranged and tortured souls, and the usual interpersonal conflicts, the author weaves a compelling and suspenseful tale of murder, mystery, archaeology and greed. (Kirkus UK)
