Synopsis

Taking a short cut home beneath the ruined abbey in the Yorkshire city of Eborby, a teenage girl reports stumbling across a body.

But with the body nowhere to be found, her inebriated state and troubled history leaves the police sceptical of her story. Only Detective Joe Plantagenet is inclined to believe her.

Meanwhile, Joe finds himself caught in the midst of an investigation into a production of The Devils at the local Playhouse when a young girl is reported missing. Could the play, with its shocking religious and sexual violence, have something to do with her disappearance? And could it explain the mysterious sighting of the body beneath the abbey?

Goodreads review by Alex on January 25, 2018

Joe found it hard to read the young man, but he was sure of one thing: Perry was the centre of Perry’s world, and he had an exaggerated opinion of his own importance in the artistic world. An arrogance like that could be dangerous… Kate Ellis’s Walking By Night is the fifth in the Joe Plantagenet ser......more

This is the 5th installment of the DI Joe Plantagenet series by Kate Ellis, and this is the first book I have read by Kate Ellis but will not be my last.

Goodreads review by Sue on July 09, 2015

Walking By Night has proven to be just what I needed, a break from heavier things with a British procedural, set in a foggy Yorkshire town full of history and unexplained death. I haven't read any of the books of this series before but that did not seem to interfere with understanding the characters......more
