Description

This sinister sounding road’s origins are linked to some of the darkest times in our history – the awful pestilent times of the bubonic Plague (or the Black Death). She worked in teaching, marketing and accountancy before first enjoying writing success as a winner of the North West Playwrights competition. What I did find increasingly irritating is that Wesley has become the focus of female attention and it seems to be turning his head. Sailing By (One) by Jeremy Boyce When it’s lively like that you need the vision of Nostradamus just to steer through the Hokusais. If you're in the mood for a long-running, high quality mystery series in which the cast of characters become friends and family, start at the beginning with The Merchant's House.

We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there is something for every literary palate. My daughter asked me and i do not know the answer, google brings up a deadmans lane near Theale, but not the Greenham one. I like the idea of two separate investigations, one very much in the present and the other dating to the seventeenth century. A skull is discovered in his farm house -could it be the skull of the one missing girl whose body has not been found? The Headless Cross, also known as the "Vinegar Stone" or "Plague Stone" at Friar Gate, Derby, England.Ellis’ mysteries always have a link to the past and her Author’s Note gives her readers details of the real life historical influences for this tale. Everything about the gruesome slaying reminds them of the decades-old case of serial killer Jackson Temples who was convicted of bumping off four women and sentenced to a 30-year prison term for his barbaric actions. They may not be buried there, but they could watch it now – the resting place of their ancestors before them. Rye was one of the places that the disease arrived in this area, as it was one of the coastal Cinque Ports, and of course, people and goods arriving from the continent, were bound to be contagious and spread the disease to the local population. Later on in history, this is also where those killed during the raids by the French during the Hundred Years War, were laid to rest.

If only I could tell her – we go to every corner of the world, even to the moon and back, and yet nothing has really changed. DI Wesley Peterson will have to determine that, and of course his old mate Neil Watson gets involved as an archaeology inspector. Strangefields Farm has been notorious for its sinister history ever since artist Jackson Temples lured young women there to model for disturbing works of art.Excellent use of language and the ‘picture’ that she painted of the area and her knowledge of the history, gave we readers a real taste of the environment that she was referring to.

This story follows those guidelines, but we begin to see why Wesley is still a DI after so many investigations. Country florists don’t get murdered gruesomely; they’re sweet, innocent and kind, but Kate Ellis’s latest DCI Wesley Patterson mystery novel breaks that axiom, like snapping the stems from a multi-coloured bouquet.And when a local florist is found murdered in an echo of Temples' crimes, DI Wesley Peterson fears that a copy-cat killer is at large. It is wide ranging and with no immediate suspects or motive Wesley grabs any loose thread until a more coherent picture starts to emerge. Notoriously renowned for it's sinister haunted history, Strangefields Farm was used by a Jackson Temples, who lured young women there to model for disturbing works of art. The author doesn’t batter the reader with fast violent action, enthusiastic love links, or frantic car chases; instead she gradually develops scenarios that excite and cajole until there is no escape.
