Talk about a mind bender-not only for Matt Ballard--but for you and me as we try to solve this mystery. It is written in the Queen's English but I had no trouble understanding-the context kind of keep me knowing what was meant. There is a section in the back that the author thoughtfully provided translating into American English for those who might need it.
Matt is still haunted by three murders of young boys many years ago--he is about to retire and is thinking about continuing the case. Then before he could retire--more boys were found brutally murdered. Then pictures and letters began to appear that implicated Matt. Whoever it was was targeting him!!
I can't say much more without giving it all away--just know you will NEVER guess who is behind all this and why!!

About the Author: (from Amazon)
I was born in Kent but spent most of my working life in London and Surrey. I was an apprentice florist to Constance Spry Ltd, a prestigious Mayfair shop that throughout the Sixties and Seventies teemed with both royalty and ‘real’ celebrities. What an eye-opener for a working-class kid from the Garden of England! I swore then, probably whilst I was scrubbing the floor or making the tea, that I would have a shop of my own one day. It took until the early Eighties, but I did it. Sadly the recession wiped us out, and I embarked on a series of weird and wonderful jobs; the last one being a bookshop manager. Surrounded by books all day, getting to order whatever you liked, and being paid for it! Oh bliss!
And now I live in a village in the Lincolnshire Fens with my partner, Jacqueline, and four Springer spaniels and one little rescue, Breton spaniel. I had been writing mysteries for years but never had the time to take it seriously. Now I write full-time, and as my partner is a highly decorated retired police officer; my choice of genre is a no-brainer! I have an on-tap police and judicial consultant, who makes exceedingly good tea!
I have set my crime thrillers here in the misty fens because I sincerely love the remoteness and airy beauty of the marshlands. This area is steeped in superstitions and lends itself so well to murder!
I am lucky enough to be one of the amazing Joffe Books team of authors and am really enjoying being able to spend time doing what I love... writing!
