The Killings at Crossley Lodge
The year is 2005, and Crossley has been shaken by a gruesome murder. Arriving to investigate the crime, Detective Chief Inspector Jim Cooper and his colleague D.S. Orlando Rudge soon discover that the local community is a hotbed of intrigue, passion and anger.
As the investigation proceeds, Cooper and Rudge uncover a series of horrific secrets. The dead man, local businessman Terry Alderton, made a habit of upsetting the locals. Meanwhile Crossley Lodge, an ambitious development aiming to transform the village, has been ruffling feathers. But would any of the locals actually be willing to commit murder in order to keep things from changing?
Cooper quickly finds himself on the trail of someone with a taste for blood. Soon another body is found, and the police realize that the case is about far more than a few old scores. But is a ghostly entity, hidden in the shadows of Crossley Lodge itself, trying to get the truth out before it's too late? And if the ghosts of the victims are still around, will that make it easier for the police to solve the case... or much harder?
The Killings at Crossley Lodge is another stand-alone book in the long-running Ghosts of Crowford series, about a spooky English town where the ghosts outnumber the living and nothing is ever quite what it seems.

Very intense
Things are really bad in this little town. People are getting murdered and it is all pointing to the Crossley Lodge. If you're not paying attention while reading, the ending will blow your mind. There was quite a twist.

lame book. People associated with the lodge are being targeted and killed off by someone. Who wants the lodge for themselves? Who did it and why was just plain boring. still in a reading slump

This is one of the best in the Crowford series. Fast paced, action packed! I couldn't put it down.
