Chrissy Ferguson Mysteries

The first three books from The Chrissy Ferguson Mysteries: The Killing Shed (BOOK 1), Cargill's Leap (BOOK 2) and The Lies Beneath Us (BOOK 3).

From Book 1, The Killing Shed

Twenty years ago, a young girl was brutally murdered, her body left in an abandoned shed in the Scottish Highlands. Her killer was never caught.

Now, another girl has vanished from the same remote village of Kinloch Rannoch, and DCI Ross Fraser and his team are sent to find her. A dogged, methodical investigator with no taste for theatrics, Fraser builds his cases piece by piece. But with no sightings, no suspects, and the clock relentlessly ticking, he begins to fear the same killer has struck again—and that it’s only a matter of time before another body is found.

Four years ago, forensic psychologist Dr Chrissy Ferguson slammed the door on her life in Kinloch Rannoch and vowed never to return. The loch had taken everything from her, and she could no longer bear to live in its shadow. But escaping the past is never easy. Since she ran from the Highland’s to get lost in the bustling city, Chrissy’s sleep has been tormented by vivid dreams of a young girl’s murder—visions so real they leave her shaken. She told herself it was nothing more than trauma. Hallucinations. Shadows of grief. But what if she was wrong?

Back in the village choked with secrets and haunted by guilt, Chrissy must face the truth she tried to forget. The killer knows her inside out—and this time, they won’t stop.

Gritty, atmospheric, and unflinchingly tense, The Killing Shed is the first in a gripping new crime series by C.L. Janet. Perfect for fans of twisted serial killers, remote locations, and unreliable witnesses. If you listen to M.W. Craven, Angela Marsons, or LJ Ross, you’ll want this on your list.
