The Gallows Green Killer

Detective Inspector Jack Dawes Mystery, Book 4

By: Frances Lloyd

Narrated by: Edward Mitchell

The Gallows Green Killer is the fourth in Francis Lloyd’s Detective Inspector Jack Dawes mysteries. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, L. J. Ross, J. R. Ellis, Angela Marsons and Faith Martin.

Rosemary and Dick Brown move into a beautiful, secluded house on Gallows Green in the idyllic Somerset village of Lullington Barrow. It seems like a dream come true. But is it too good to be true?

The tight-knit community closes ranks when asked about the previous residents. The charming village takes on an even more sinister hue when Rosemary’s sister, Corrie, and her husband, DI Jack Dawes, come to visit and a local man is found dead at the bottom of a slurry pit, his body wrapped in a feed sack. A few bad apples reveal the village’s rotten core, as the body count rises.

The forces at play extend far beyond this backwater, but how? Jack must race to fit the pieces together as everything he holds dear comes under threat.

Not great, just stereotypes and unimaginative story telling. Really a story that could have been done in half the time.
