From # 1 bestselling author, Stewart Giles comes a new detective Harriet Taylor/Jason Smith thriller.

The lives of the people in the charming Cornish village of Trotterdown are about to be shattered.

When the body of a man is discovered on a beach near Trotterdown, detective Harriet Taylor gets to work. It soon becomes clear that this was no ordinary murder - the man was placed in a yoga position and his pockets were filled with seashells.

As more bodies pile up, suspicion falls on the residents of the old Beekeeper's house. Who are these New-Age youngsters and is their 'peace and love' philosophy merely a front to cover up something sinister?

Harriet and her team are stumped. Everywhere they turn seems to lead nowhere, and they soon believe these gruesome murders will remain unsolved forever.

Then Detective Sergeant Jason Smith receives a phone call that will change his life forever. Harriet's DI calls and gives him some terrible news.
'Harriet Taylor is dead.'

Smith must now make a choice. Harriet's DI has asked for his help in the investigation that resulted in her grisly death, but does Smith really want to get involved in something that really does not concern him?

Against his better judgement and ignoring his wife's pleas, Smith heads off to Trotterdown to see if he can find out what it was that Harriet failed to see, but when he eventually does uncover what it was Harriet discovered that culminated in her death, his own life is put at risk. Could this be the case that finishes off Smith for good?

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE RAVEN GIRL:
‘A brilliant plot that keeps the grey matter active (but nothing to keep you awake) and characters that have that “something” about them- a little humour, a little background and come across really well- the skill of a good author. A wonderful read, a cracking book.’– Nicki’s Book Blog
‘Another ‘can’t put it down’ book from Stewart Giles. This book ends the short series with Harriet Taylor as the central character. The author found a chilling way to do that and bring DS Jason Smith’s brilliance to the finale.’ – Alison
‘Another outing with familiar characters, false leads, strange goings on and more twists and turns than a roller coaster this is an awesome read that keeps the pages turning all the way to the stunning ending.’ – I Love Books
