The Celtic Cross
A severed head is found impaled on the gate to a country estate. The ensuing murder investigation is plagued with interference from above and several false leads frustrate the investigators. But slowly they unravel the mystery and unveil a story of resentment and greed. The detective team is led by DCI. Matthew Prior and his partner, Siobhan Williams. He is a gritty and determined veteran and she his perfect counterpart. He is happily married and she, despite being physically attractive, frightens most men off with her sharp brain and wit. Despite all the hurdles put in their way they gradually get to the truth. In the process they uncover a world of deviance and cruelty rooted in the deep past.

Very good
This was a really interesting story. The characters were absolutely believable and the description of country side add to the story, as well as the description of the people of the towns. The description of the Celtic people add to the story.

Good read
I really enjoyed the twists and turns. I liked how the story kept me involved. The characters were believable as well as the inter-actions between them. Really impressed with the way the history of the Celts was easy to follow and how it blended into the story.

Good police procedural
I really enjoyed this book. If you are a Rachel Amphlett and Kay Hunter fan, you will enjoy this too. You also pick up a fair amount of interesting Celtic history as well. A good read.

Well done!
A most interesting story that gives the reader a good understanding of local British police work, life style and bureaucracy. An added benefit comes from discussions of Celtic history. This book is well worth your time.

Good British murder mystery
Good Brisith murder mystery, and I like that it twisted and turned so that it wasn't easy to figure out who did it. I hope these characters will show up again, either in another book or a good BBC crime drama...

The Celtic Cross
Enjoyable read. Many clues and dead ends, but all finally came together. Interesting read with the historical background on the Celtic beliefs.
