Product Description
It is freezing mid-winter on Exmoor, and in a close-knit community where no stranger goes unnoticed, a local woman has been found murdered in her bed. This is local policeman Jonas Holly's first murder investigation. But he is distracted by anonymous letters, accusing him of failing to do his job.
Taunted by the killer and sidelined by his abrasive senior detective, Jonas has no choice but to strike out alone on a terrifying hunt . . . but who is hunting who?

This was really good, although I read part of it a few months back, then life got in the way, and I went back to it after a break, which didn't help, but I got back into it and it was very good. had my suspicions about who the murderer was but I didn't know if I was barking up the wrong tree. I read this straight after read Blacklands, both are set in Exmoor village Shipcott, although the books do stand alone. A good read and I would recommend. I've heard Belinda Bauer talk about her writing and i really liked her. A crime thriller writer with a difference.

Owed to Tanamo, who has waited patiently for us to meet - at Mrs Bridge's for lunch and a natter, of course!
Thank you for this wishlist book.
For the first few chapters I found the book to be a bit slow but then the pace picked up and I got hooked. The characters were well described and the setting of a tiny village in an Exmoor winter was very atmospheric. The inner life of the villagers and those investigating the crimes was completely believable. This is the first book I have read by this author and I would definitely read more.
