The church was ready, friends and family awaited as did the groom, but
there wasn’t going to be a wedding today because the bride was lying on
her bed - dead!
DI Wesley Peterson and DCI Gerry Heffernan set about getting to know the
victim by interviewing the people who knew her best. However, as much
as they have learned about her, Peterson feels that he still really
doesn’t know her.
Two days later Peterson has to go to a farm where a skeleton was
discovered by a treasure seeker. That same day DC Steve Carstairs
discovers that the victim was being watched by private investigators on
behalf of a man who claimed to be her fiancé. They have two potential
suspects and both seem to have disappeared.
Dr. Neil Watson, Peterson’s archaeologist friend, examines the skeleton
in situ and declares it to be an old burial. However, the police have
another body on their hands. A man has been found murdered in his hotel
room.
Despite having caught the killer of the girl, Peterson has doubts.
There seems to be more to the case, and it could be connected to the
death of the man.
Peterson and his team need to gather evidence yet, as author Kate Ellis
leads the reader by the nose hinting at perpetrators, each with their
own valid reason for being the killer. She then provides a surprising
twist to the plot, which leaves the reader both surprised and shocked. A
thoroughly enjoyable read.
