Synopsis

Someone is still waiting for her to come home. She never will.

Forensic psychologist Dr Chrissy Ferguson thought she had escaped Kinloch Rannoch for good. But when a teenage girl disappears, she is reluctantly pulled back to the place she once called home.

Dragged into the investigation by DCI Ross Fraser, Chrissy quickly realises this is no ordinary murder. The girl has been stabbed and drained of blood, yet the crime scene is eerily clean.

There is no DNA.
No witnesses.
And no mistakes.

As the investigation deepens, Chrissy and Ross uncover other girls, other sheds and other unsolved deaths – cold cases with the same chilling details. Someone has been perfecting this method for years. A killer who prepares carefully, who controls every detail and who leaves nothing behind.

While Chrissy begins to unravel the killer’s thinking, the past she tried to escape starts closing in. The answer to everything may lie in fragments of a buried memory she has never been able to fully recall.

But some memories are buried for a reason.

The Killing Shed is the first book in the Chrissy Ferguson Mysteries by C.L. Janet. A dark, atmospheric crime thriller set in the Scottish Highlands, perfect for readers who enjoy remote locations, troubled protagonists and long-buried secrets. Fans of Val McDermid, Ann Cleeves, JD Kirk and LJ Ross will enjoy this tense series opener.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Inspired by her Scottish home, C.L. Janet (Clare) writes murder mysteries set against the dramatic, breath-taking and sometimes unforgiving backdrop of the Highland Perthshire. Complimented for her ability to draw readers into the lives of her characters, Clare uses her diverse life experiences to weave enthralling narratives that place the reader at the heart of the story. Born in South Yorkshire to a working-class family, Clare dreamed big, leaving her native Doncaster for London at 17yrs of age to study ballet. Dance careers are short and as age crept up, she began to look for something beyond pointe shoes and performances, eventually returning to school to study for a Doctorate in Psychology. Since obtaining her Ph.D. sixteen years ago, Clare has worked as an academic, lecturing to university students and authoring numerous scientific papers. An enduring dream to pursue more creative writing came to fruition after a family tragedy caused her to re-evaluate the important things in life. Now, she combines the shaping of young minds with writing novels and spending time with the loves of her life - her husband Ian and Nessie, the rather noisy bearded collie.
