This is the first in a series of fantastic murder mysteries set in the Lake District. Daniel Kind leaves his secure job as a historian at Oxford, and, on a whim, moves to a dilapidated cottage in the Lake District with new girlfriend, Miranda. Some years earlier, a young woman was murdered and her body left on the Sacrifice Stone, a local landmark. Barrie Gilpin, a loner, who used to live in the cottage Daniel has bought, was found dead at the bottom of nearby cliffs. Case conveniently closed. Daniel's father was the policeman who originally investigated the case, and he wasn't sure of Barrie's guilt. Neither is Daniel, who knew Barrie as a child. The case comes up as part of a cold case review led by DCI Hannah Scarlett, and Daniel becomes involved in the investigation. This is an atmospheric story which sets up an intriguing relationship between Daniel and Hannah to be explored in future books. Recommended for lovers of English police procedurals.
