Description
Sergeant Burrows tackles a classic locked room murder mystery and, as usual, there’s a supernatural edge. I adore these books!’
Easter 1921. On the remote island of Skye a dying woman passes an extraordinary message to her great-grandson and in Great Tew, as Edward Spense and Innes Knox finally marry, a secret Ouija board session reveals a terrible threat to their future.
Newly promoted Sergeant Burrows has his own problems, not least his astonishing new assistant, Constable Dixon. When a body is discovered in the locked study of the Dower House, he’s sure it’s suicide, but as compelling evidence emerges, the pair of them are forced to confront the possibility that it’s murder.
The legacy of the Great War continues to hang over the village as the long hot summer slowly unfolds and the two police officers doggedly pursue a cunning killer hiding in plain sight. Meanwhile, the threat to Edward and Innes draws ever closer…
A Question of Malice is a supernatural crime thriller set in an ancient landscape where the Great War casts a long shadow, and nothing is quite what it seems.
