The first of those distractions is A Place of Reckoning. It's the second book in my DI Tom Blake Murder Mysteries series – and it's out on 31/3/2020.
In my previous emails, I’ve been sharing kidnap victim, Annabelle Lancasters tragic story with you... and today is my last email before the book launches in six days. Bearing this mind I wanted to ask …
You’ve got secrets right?
Everyone has. Its human nature not to reveal everything about ourselves, why would we? After all, some stuff is just too downright embarrassing, even to share with your loved ones. Wouldn’t you agree?
But also, there are things we’ve done, things we’re not proud of, mistakes we’ve made! Some minor, some major, perhaps?
The Darkest Secrets are often hiding in plain sight
I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Life, after all, is complex, and so are humans. You just never know how you might react, or think you’ll react in certain situations.
Annabelle Lancasters also made mistakes, she's got secrets and she’s had affairs, but she didn’t deserve to be taken: not like that anyway. It was violent and mercilessly cruel!
But when her diamond bracelet is found at the bottom of a pool, underneath the floating headless corpse at a beauty spot in a remote Peak District; the police make a chilling connection between the murder and Annabelle’s kidnap, and it becomes a frantic race against the clock to save her life.
But it seems everyone involved with the case is hiding something, and when a sinister conspiracy from the 1800s, involving the Lancasters rich forefathers emerges: DI Blake and Lucy Stryker become engulfed in a world where secrets can kill.
Will the shocking truth finally be revealed?
But with...
Three women. Two bodies and One deadly secret.
A Place of Reckoning is coming...
A chilling psychological murder mystery full of suspense and deadly twists (Detective Tom Blake book 2)
'A Place of Reckoning is an utterly gripping psychological thriller: a real page-turner.'
