The Merchant's House

DS Wesley Peterson has just arrived in Devon and immediately finds himself part of an investigation into a woman’s body found near a walking path.  Everyone is glad that it isn’t a little boy who had recently gone missing.  DI Gerry Heffernan and DC Rachel Tracey are working the case with him.  When hethe victim’s handbag turns up, a photo inside it rings a bell for Peterson, but he can’t remember where he had seen the victim before.

When Peterson remembers that he had seen her in a pornographic magazine left in his desk by the previous DS, it leads him and Heffernan to Manchester.  There they find out the identity of the victim and locate her mother.

Shortly after this, Peterson is called to an archeological site where a body has been found.  It’s another murder case, albeit a four hundred year old one.

Everyone is shocked when the victim turns up in the police station alive!  So, who is the victim really?

Author Kate Ellis’ murder mystery has the reader guessing right up until the end.  A very good read, which had me caught up right from the very first page.  I am looking forward to reading this series.
