Penwith, the southwest tip of Cornwall, is a land of mystery and magic, of prehistoric monuments, witchcraft…and murder. When an American archaeological team stumbles upon the skeletal remains of a missing child beneath a Stone Age burial quoit, irascible CID Detective Sergeant Morgan Davies and her Scene of Crimes partner, Calum West, unearth a growing list of suspects.Within days, another body … another body is discovered. Is the killer the mind-reading village witch—who has long been a suspect in the child’s disappearance? Is it the drug-dealing partner of the child’s heroin-addicted mother? Or is it someone even closer to the investigation? Just as Davies and West close in on their prime suspect, another child disappears.

Not so great..
Good characters, very enjoyable and intriguing Brit crime story.
This is well written. I found myself re-reading the descriptions of the weather and the landscape simply because they were so well written. I don’t usually like fantasy in my mysteries but this Was an exception.
Great read…can’t put it down..lots of action and mystery. Love the characters and the storyline that borders on the occult.
Good series…looking forward to reading more of them.
Great Book. Loved it being a murder mystery but not the same old, same old, with wonderful characters and some plot twists.
After a few chaptets gave up and didn’t finish.
I liked this book. I always enjoy reading about different areas and countries. This was light reading, but sometimes that is exactly what you want!
It was hard for me to keep up with. Not used to British authors.
Dedicated to her job, our detective is haunted by her past and driven by the desire to restore her father’s reputation!
Not interesting, quit reading it
I really enjoy these characters and the location of the stories in Cornwall. I’ve been there, in many of the places mentioned and that adds a special affiliation. I eagerly await the next book in the series!
I liked the setting. Lots of twists and turns. Good characters.
I loved, loved, loved this book. Strong characters, twisted story line and interesting interaction between characters.
A great mystery novel set in a reclusive part of Great Britain. A little witchcraft thrown in to add some color to an already unique plot. Loved it!
Love his books. Once you get into it you can’t put it down. Very well written.
Didn’t care for it
Good read.
Not your usual setting or story. Interesting sidelines. Likable but edgy characters. Thx.
Fab book and I’ll be reading a lot more of this author
