DI Caroline Hills and her team are called to investigate the death of a man discovered on the rocks around the Normanton Church. The victim is laid out in crucifixion pose, facing the altar. He evidently was hit in the head and then strangled. All evidence points to this having a religious connection... and he's not the only one to die. Hills and DS Dexter Antoine know the killings will continue until they discover the truth. The plot is well written, characters are deftly drawn. I enjoyed how history played large part in investigating. Multiple suspects are introduced, all who may have a motive for wanting the victim dead. A second story line running parallel involves a secret that Hills has kept, not only from her husband and children, but also from her team members. Warning ... there is a cliff hanger. The good news is that Book 2 will be available in a few short months. Many thanks to the author for the digital copy of this crime fiction. Read and reviewed voluntarily, opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own.
