Summary

A COSY MYSTERY SET ON THE PICTURESQUE YORKSHIRE MOORS. FOR FANS OF FAITH MARTIN, BETTY ROWLANDS AND LJ ROSS.

Kitt Hartley wakes to the news that a murder has been committed in Irendale, a village high on the wild Yorkshire moors where her boyfriend, DI Malcolm Halloran, lived with his ex-wife until she too, was murdered. The MO of the two crimes is identical, right down to the runic symbols carved into the victims' hands.

Unable to leave it to the local police to solve, Kitt and Halloran travel to Irendale, where a literary mystery awaits. A line of Anglo-Saxon poetry found on the victim leads to a hiding place, and another cryptic clue. What is the connection to the murder of Halloran's wife all those years ago?

It will take the combined ingenuity of Kitt and Halloran, as well as Evie Bowes, Grace Edwards and, despite their best efforts, Ruby the (possible) psychic to solve this case. The moors may be beautiful, but they're not peaceful!

Fun listen

Good tale told well. Very enjoyable. Excellent twists, characterizations were believable and all attractive, or if a not so good character, not overstated or without humanity. Worth the money and the time if you like your mysteries more fun then grim and realistic.

Enjoyable

Really enjoyable. Kitt Hartley and her partner DI Malcolm Halloran are on the trail of a murderer. Lots of red herrings and connections to the past for both of them. A great series.

A reasonable story but unnecessary sexual refer we nce

A reasonable story and better read than previous but why yet again the sexual reference which has no benefit to the story and so brief but its presence makes it impossible to recommend this book or share it.
It should not be necessary to put such in to spice things up if it is a good storyline.
Some if it drags unnecessarily and I suspect the publishers asked for longer chapters so the author just waffled.

getting progressively shorter

Am enjoying these books but they seem to becoming more formulaic and consequently shorter.

I love these books. But...

I listened to books one - three and absolutely loved them fantastic stories and Eilidh Beaton is outstanding as the reader! so why for the next book did they go for a different reader? it's not the same and just removed all the enjoyment of these beloved characters? Please bring her back!!! And if possible redo book four!

Disappointing

Slow start .Weak characterisation. Nothing much happened until chapter 5. So many lost opportunities to develop the plot and characters.
