Highly recommended. It deals with the murder of a 13 year old teenage girl in the Derbyshire Peaks, back in 1963. It is very well written and I like the way that the infamous Moors Murders are introduced into the tale. This is an amazing psychological gripping story line with an unexpected twist.

This is a very different novel from the previous Val McDermid tales I have read. Now ready to source the others x I couldn't put the book down.
