She was racing towards the gorge. The place the locals knew as ‘Dead Girl's Drop’…

DI Meg Dalton is thrown headlong into her latest case when she finds a ten-year-old girl running barefoot through the woods in a blood-soaked nightdress. In the house nearby, the girl's father has been brutally stabbed to death.

At first Meg suspects a robbery gone tragically wrong, but something doesn’t add up. Why does the girl have no memory of what happened to her? And why has her behaviour changed so dramatically since her recent heart transplant?

The case takes a chilling turn when evidence points to the girl’s involvement in her own father’s murder. As unsettling family secrets emerge, Meg is forced to question her deepest beliefs to discover the shocking truth, before the killer strikes again…

Critic reviews

"A wonderfully pacy, atmospheric thriller." (B A Paris)

"Absolutely gripping. I didn’t think Roz Watkins could top The Devil’s Dice, but this is even better." (Cass Green)

"Marvellously atmospheric, with a vivid and compelling cast of characters." (Kate Rhodes)

What a great find.

I do hope she hurries up and write another book these two were absolutely wonderful.
