About 100 years ago a woman had been brutally murdered on Ravenbank.
Her ghost is always seen on Halloween. Just five years ago a young
woman was brutally murdered in a similar fashion. Following an invitation to a Halloween party, and being told about the
two murders, Daniel Kind is surprised to find that in both cases, the
alleged killer died within a day of the murders.
Meantime, DCI Hannah Scarlett has her hands full with the men in her
life. She doesn't know what to think of her friendship with Daniel; she and her DS Greg
Wharf, are on the verge having sex when her former lover, Marc walks in
on them. He turns around and leaves, but crashes his car further down
the road. Wharf is the one who finds it.
The following morning, Hannah's good friend, Terri is found battered to
death on Ravenbank. Terri's former boyfriend had been threatening her,
he was seen in the area last night and now he seems to have
disappeared. The police are looking for him.
When the ex-boyfriend is apprehended, he denies the killing. DCI Fern
Larter, the SIO is beginning to believe him. So, who is responsible for
the most recent murders? A jealous lover? Or someone else?
Meanwhile, through his research, Daniel is able to solve the original
murder. Could it have some influence on the current murder? Will Hannah or Fern be able solve the murder of Terri before
there is another?
Author Martin Edwards presents plenty of suspects in this mystery with a surprising conclusion. A very good read.
