Detective Inspector Tom Mariner's troubled past is about to catch up with him in this intriguing mystery
Grieving the death of his ex-lover, Detective Inspector Tom Mariner has taken two weeks' leave to recuperate, seeking peace and solitude in a remote corner of Wales. The last thing he imagined was to find himself caught up in a murder investigation - with himself as the prime suspect. But when his walking holiday is interrupted by the discovery of a dead body, Tom discovers that there are a number of disturbing secrets being kept behind the closed doors of the ancient stone farmhouses that populate the region.

      Collett’s uneven sixth Tom Mariner mystery (after 2009’s Stalked by Shadows) takes the troubled Birmingham detective inspector to Wales, where he’s hoping a two-week walking holiday will help him recover from the death of his former lover in a road-rage incident. Unfortunately, Mariner, a credible and sympathetic lead, ends up a suspect in the murder of a man found hacked to death in a remote mountainous area. On the plus side, Mariner begins a hesitant flirtation with a pretty historian he meets in his wanderings. Their relationship is one of the book’s highlights. Some readers, however, may have trouble keeping track of the well-crafted but too-numerous minor characters, including a terminally ill ex-convict bent on revenge and an ex-girlfriend turned innkeeper. As the body count rises, it’s not clear who did what to whom, and questions remain unanswered. That may be what happens in real life, but it’s less than satisfying on the page.
