Cry From the Grave - DI Harry Briscombe Mystery Carolyn Mahony

Secrets can’t stay buried forever, and when they’re exposed, they can have tragic consequences. Hannah Walker is living in limbo. Six years ago, her daughter was abducted, and her world fell apart.

She’s tried to pick up the pieces of her life, tried to move on, but not a day goes by when she doesn’t relive the guilt and horror of that day. And then one afternoon she gets a phone call that tips her fragile existence on its head. A discovery in a local garden could be related to Sophie’s disappearance.

Suddenly the hope that has never quite been extinguished is reignited. She’s never given up believing that Sophie is alive but is she being ridiculously naïve? She doesn’t know. All she does know is that this time around she won’t rest until she finds out what happened to her daughter.

When DS Harry Briscombe is called out to investigate a macabre discovery in a local garden, a cold case suddenly gets red hot. But nothing is as it seems. As he is drawn deeper into the web of deceit, and pressure to solve the case builds, it soon becomes obvious that someone is determined to keep secrets buried – no matter what the cost.

Utterly believable characters, and an enthralling story with a dark secret buried at its core. The gripping introduction to the Harry Briscombe crime thriller mystery series. Perfect for fans of the Broadchurch TV series, Ann Cleeves, LJ Ross, Rachel Abbott and Susan Hill.
