The Cursed Inheritance

DCI Gerry Heffernan and DI Wesley Peterson have been called down to the river where the body of a man has been pulled out of the water.  Pathologist Colin Bowman indicates that the man has been stabbed.

When they get back to the office, DC Steve Carstairs reports that a call about a theft at a health spa had just come in, which seems to fit a pattern of recent thefts.  DS Rachel Tracey goes with him to start the investigation.

It turns out that the murder victim was investigating a mass murder, which had occurred at the house.  Which is now the spa.  Peterson decides to read the old files on the case and comes away with questions of his own.  What had happened to all of the people who were potential witnesses or were they suspects?

As the investigation progresses, the team is able to locate the witnesses/suspects and interview them with the exception of two.  Is one in the clutches of the other?  Author Kate Ellis ups the body count in this murder mystery as the investigation progresses and concludes with a surprising twist.  A thoroughly enjoyable read, and I’m looking forward to reading the next book.
