Will the truth prevail or will someone get away with murder?
The morning after a ferocious storm, the body of a vulnerable teenage girl is found in the woods. The police are under pressure to find the killer and solve the tragedy but with thin evidence and no witnesses, the case is falling apart. Desperate to find this vicious murderer, they hunt high and low and eventually find their man: an outsider with no alibi. When the suspect confesses to the crime, it’s an open and shut case. But two women suspect foul play and dedicate their lives to working out what really happened, at all costs.
Will justice be served for the girl whose life was stolen from her? Will the killer face the punishment they deserve? Will the truth come to light? The answers are devastating but maybe tomorrow they will be found.

This explored the lives of leaders of the period, including Boadicea, King Arthur, Offa, Alfred the Great, Athelstan, Eric Bloodaxe & William the Conquerer (& gave rise to his 1st book, based upon the series).
Hmm… what can I say. Overall, it was a nice book, not too complicated but relaxing, which was ideal for the moment I was listening to it and for this period of time. I liked the plot. What I would definitely change would be Anthony’s ending.
If you ignore the blindingly obvious plot hole in the storyline this is another cracking book from the author. The narration is brilliant and really brought it all to life and I couldn’t stop listening. Just annoying that the huge mistake with the plot wasn’t picked up prior to publishing.
