Unhallowed Grave

DI Gerry Heffernan and DS Wesley Peterson have been called out to what the pathologist says might be a murder.  A woman had been found hanging from a tree.  Evidence around her neck points to strangulation prior to her being hung from the tree.  A couple of days later a young lad goes missing.  Heffernan asks that a bulletin be distributed amongst the police.

Meanwhile Peterson’s friend, Neil Watson, who is an archeologist, is in charge of a dig near where the hanging occurred.  A body is found in one of the trenches, and Neil is forced to call in the police.

As the investigation progresses, Heffernan and Peterson learn that the victim has a mysterious background and that the missing lad may have seen the murderer.  If they can find out the past of the victim will that lead to them finding the killer?

Author Kate Ellis presents a few suspects as this murder mystery progresses leaving the reader to wonder which one it truly is.  This is another very good work by Ellis.  A quick and enjoyable read.
