Synopsis

Stella Darnell cannot shake her father's legacy. A year after his death, she has discovered what looks like an unsolved case in his darkroom: a folder of unlabelled photographs of deserted streets. But why did her father - a Detective Chief Superintendent - never file them at the station? The oldest photo dates back to 1966, to a day when ten-year-old Mary Thornton was taking her little brother home from school. That afternoon, as the Moors Murderers were sent to prison for life, Mary witnessed something horrible that would haunt her forever. As Stella inches closer to the truth, the events of that day in 1966 will begin to haunt her too. This is the 2nd story in the Detective's Daughter series.

This was a funny old book for me. The first half of the book was full of very distinct and separate stories of the main characters, in a very similar way to the way Stephen King starts his stories. They then start to merge, but sadly for me I had already worked out who the murderer was, and that alw......more

I was so excited to read this book after loving 'The Detective's Daughter' which introduced us to Stella and Jack and how they solve a cold case left behind by Stella's detective father who had just died. This book introduces another unsolved mystery, this time concerning the deaths of men that had p......more
