Description
At first, the discovery of an unidentified body barely impacts on the quiet community of Ellington Close in the country town of Lavistock. It is down to Detective Inspector Abigail Moon to find the identity of the murdered man, and figure out what he was doing there. The case seems a dead end until, just when the trail is starting to go cold, another murder much closer to home turns the eye of suspicion on the residents of Ellington Close. As DI Moon and Superintendent Gil Mayo investigate the the people living in this small community, they find that more one person is keeping secrets… As Mayo and Moon search for the answers, they quickly realize that the two murders are inextricably connected. Can they uncover the unknown terror that is lurking in the shadows of the quiet backwater town in time? Or will this 'Species of Revenge' strike again? 'Species of Revenge' is an expertly plotted crime thriller that is perfect for fans of Nikki French and Ian Rankin. Praise for Majorie Eccles: ‘Eccles produces smoothly flowing prose and an atmospheric setting’ - Publishers Weekly ‘Superior police procedural’ - Sunday Telegraph "It all makes for lively entertainment, enhanced by the author's forthright style, some resonant characters, a subdued village ambiance, and a puzzle neatly deconstructed but with minimum help from Lavenstock's likeable police team." - Kirkus Reviews MARJORIE ECCLES lived for many years in the Midlands, where her crime novels are set. ‘An Accidental Shroud’ and ‘A Death of Distinction’ also feature Detective Chief Inspector Gil Mayo.
