I started this book and found that it was not for me. I didn't want to rate a book that I wasn't able to finish.

A good read. A traditional police procedural, concerning the possibility of there being a vicious serial killer in a small village. Look forward to reading more books from this author.

A new English police mystery by Rachel Amphlett introducing DS Mark Turpin and DC Jan West. DS Turpin has just moved into the area. A violent murder of the parish priest is their first time working together. Soon there is another violent murder near by. What is the connection? The two of them work together with ease. There is tension, though, between Mark and the pathologist who is his former sister-in-law. As you read you will never figure out who the murderer is. I look forward to the next Mark Turpin novel.

"The voice that had murmured to him through the wall of the confessional had been matter-of-fact, as if discussing a leaking tap that had been fixed."

56-year-old parish priest Seamus Carter is found brutely murdered in the church with his tongue cut out. Who would have killed this beloved priest?

Detective Sergeant Mark Turpin is called in a week before he has to start in his new job to help with the investigation. Will they be able to figure out why this happened and why this priest was killed in such a brutal way?......then a second priest is found dead and it starts pointing to something more sinister.

A brilliant and fast-paced read that keeps you on the edge of your seat with a very unlikely killer in the and.
Highly recommended!

Thank you to NetGalley and Saxon Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

Detective Sergeant Mark Turpin is new to the Vale of the White Horse, but he won’t have an easy transition into the small community. Priests are being killed, the crime scenes showing signs of ritualistic abuse and a quiet village is left to grapple with the fact that they are dealing with a vicious serial killer. Amphlett is a deft and clever writer and I look forward to the next book in this very promising series
