A young boy's body is washed from the river and forensic examination reveals he has been murdered. The accidental discovery that a convicted paedophile lives in the nearby village leads to police interest in his activities, and when five decaying bodies are found in his garden, he is arrested.

Helena Flemming is called in as his solicitor, but busy on another case, she asks John Eisenmenger to travel to the crime scene. And there he discovers the abuse is far more grotesque than previously thought - beneath its idyllic surface, there is a far darker side to the village.

Critic reviews

"British pathologist with a rattling good whodunit." ( Bookseller)

Really enjoyed this book and it kept me glued to my seat. It's a dark twisty turnny book involving realistic characters who come alive thanks to SB's narration. One of the characters (no spoilers) reminds me of an old neighbour of mine!

Anyway bought as a BOGOF and well worth my time and dosh!

Simply excellent...

Very, good listen, I was gripped. However, I felt that a little too much sympathy was shown for the main suspect. Mrs C, what a character!

Very good listen

This is a great story, really well read, and kept me completely hooked until the end. The subject was gritty and pulled few punches. If you like books in this genre - then you will love this. Will watch out for more from this author.

Great Story!
