“Finely observed beautifully written” Daily Mail on The Secrets of Life and Death“The victim had been buried in a carved hollow in the grass and shrouded in fallen leaves…”Archaeologist Sage Westfield has her first forensics case: investigating the murder of a teenage girl. Hidden by holly leaves, the girl’s body has been discovered on the grounds of a stately home, where another teenage girl went missing twenty years ago – but her body was never found. The police suspect the reclusive owner, Alistair Chorleigh, who was questioned but never charged. But when Sage investigates a nearby burial mound – and uncovers rumours of an ancient curse – she discovers the story of another mysterious disappearance over a hundred years ago. Sage will need both her modern forensics skills and her archaeological knowledge to unearth the devastating truth.
“A deftly constructed novel that offers a nuanced blend between historical and contemporary mystery stories.” – The Crime Review
