MEET YOUR NEW FAVOURITE DETECTIVE. DI JOANNA PIERCY IS AN OUTSIDER IN A REMOTE STAFFORDSHIRE MOORLANDS TOWN.

Please note this book was previously published as Almost a Whisper.

The young woman’s hands grip the pram tightly. She’s teetering close to the edge. Dangerously close. The toddler is quiet, despite the rocks crumbling into the drop below. The question isn’t whether she’ll jump, but, whose blood is she covered in?

Anthony Newton has been dead for almost two weeks when Detective Joanna Piercy and her team find him. Naked, decomposing in the bath tub.

Someone clearly hated Anthony enough to stab him to death and leave him like this. But where is his wife?

As Detective Piercy tries to track down the only potential witness, she must ask the hardest question of all. What if Mrs Newton killed her husband?

And what’s the connection to the woman and child found on that rocky outcrop on the Staffordshire Moors?

DARK SECRETS COME BACK TO HAUNT DETECTIVE PIERCY IN THIS QUIET MOORLANDS TOWN.

An accomplished police procedural with a stunningly realized heroine, perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths, Joy Ellis, L.J. Ross, Lynda La Plante, Angela Marsons, Jane Adams and Helen H. Durrant.
