When private
investigator Blake Hollow finds the body of a missing
teenager on the moors of rural Cornwall, a
deep-seated childhood trauma is reawakened…
For over 18 years, the veteran private eye has been tormented by the disappearance of her best friend. Now, reluctantly back in her hometown, Blake is shocked to learn that the daughter of another old school friend has vanished.
Troubled by painful memories, Blake is determined to find Lucy Truscott alive. But her search takes a tragic turn when she stumbles upon the young woman’s mutilated corpse.
As local police detectives hunt for a cold-blooded killer, Blake is convinced that Lucy isn’t the first victim and launches her own murder investigation.
But is she wasting precious time by trying to connect her long-missing friend to Lucy’s murder? Or has Blake uncovered a secret serial killer whose grisly intentions are about to reach terrifying new heights?
Circle of Bones is the first book in a gritty and fast-paced British crime thriller series featuring tenacious private detective Blake Hollow.
Thoughts.
This was such a great book; I couldn't put it down. The entire process that Blake goes through and then suddenly figures everything out and the police don't believe her!
It's the end to a very long mystery that's plagued Blake for so long but so many secrets come to the service. Many twists and turns. I won't give too much away but this was great!

Synopsis.
Wealthy heiress Kerenza Trezise was about to marry the man she loved…until she killed herself in front of the entire wedding party.
Private investigator Blake Hollow is hired to find out why. Physically and emotionally damaged by a near-death encounter with a serial killer, Blake knows this case is an opportunity to relaunch her struggling P.I. Business.
But as she attempts to infiltrate one of Cornwall’s richest families at their impressive Frenchman’s Creek estate, she learns that the Trezises have their own dark secrets to protect, and a shocking legacy of madness, horror, and death.
Worse still, they’ll do anything to stop Blake’s private investigation from revealing the truth, including deception, intimidation, and perhaps even murder.
They say family is forever. But they have never met the Trezise family…
‘Down in the Blood’ is a fast-paced and creepy Gothic murder mystery that draws on Cornish folklore and the occult. Fans of British crime fiction will love tenacious private detective Blake Hollow as she delves into another confounding murder case
Thoughts.
This was a very well written book that I just couldn't put down. The twist was NOT one I saw coming at all. The book is so well written you can literally picture saltwater house and what these kids are going through
It seems to take Blake a bit to put it all together, but she is being blocked at every step of the way, once she does, things are crazy and she is truly lucky to escape with her life!
