The Shrine
the brand new Detective's Daughter mystery
Description
'This is Lesley Thomson at her very best; a wonderfully twisty story told with her customary warmth and brilliant eye for social detail. I loved it.' ELLY GRIFFITHS
A decades-old murder. A haunting legacy. A plot for revenge.
Stella Darnell knows her partner Jack is hiding something. After following him one evening, she discovers he's been consulting a psychic in a desperate attempt to reach his dead mother. A sceptic by nature, and feeling betrayed by his lies, Stella fears what this means for their relationship.
Seeking distraction, she accepts DI Toni Kemp's invitation to join her for a holiday in a small village in Gloucestershire. But the visit is derailed when a body is discovered at a shrine where a woman died decades earlier.
Drawn into the investigation, Stella must confront the legacy of a once-famous psychic whose shadow still hangs over Prestbury – while in the darkness, someone bent on revenge waits patiently for the perfect moment to strike...
Laced with character-based and situational humour, but with a compelling and layered murder mystery at its heart, THE SHRINE is part of the one-of-a-kind Detective's Daughter series, perfect for fans of LJ Ross and Kate Rhodes.
This series that can be enjoyed in any order.
