I am reviewing a copy of Burial Grounds through Joffre Books and Netgalley:

Detective Mike Nash thought that moving back to Yorkshire from London would give him a quieter life.  Little did he know how wrong he was.

A young woman killed in a hit and run.  There’s a naked body in the cemetery and a local woman reported missing.

While a young Mother to be is out on an evening jog she’s callously struck down in a hit-and-run.

 

Detective Mike Nash is called out to the the local cemetery. A naked body has been found three weeks later.   a body which definitely shouldn’t be there placed face down on a grave.

The post-mortem reveals that the victim was restrained with manacles, and then drowned, his body kept upside-down in water for several days after death.

It is soon learned that the dead man was Andrew Derrick, who worked for a local IT company. Quiet, well-mannered, he kept himself to himself. The motive for his murder is a mystery.

A second body turns up in the cemetery killed in the same macabre way. And another employee from the company is reported missing.

What connects them? DI Nash pieces the clues together .  He finds himself on the trail of a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to ensure the truth remains hidden.

I give Burial Grounds five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
