"The old Corpse Bridge is the route taken for centuries by mourners from villages on the western fringes of Derbyshire to a burial ground across the River Dove, now absorbed into the landscaped parkland of a stately home. When Earl Manby, the landowner, announces plans to deconsecrate the burial ground to turn it into a car park for his holiday cottages, bodies begin to appear once again on the road to the Corpse Bridge. Is there a connection with the Earl's plans? Or worse, is there a terrifying serial killer at work? Back in his job after the traumatic events of previous months, Detective Sergeant Ben Cooper knows that he must unravel the mystery of the Corpse Bridge if he's going to be able to move on with his life. As the pressure builds, Ben doesn't know who he can trust and, when the case reaches breaking point, he has to make a call that could put everything - and everyone - at risk..."--

Add a CommentFamiliar characters, familiar setting, familiar writing style...all add up to time well spent with a favorite author. Good to see Ben getting over his grief from events in the last 2 novels and looking forward to a new future...new position, and perhaps a changing relationship with Diane. Perhaps the plot is not as gripping and action packed as some thrillers, but then a story set in the Peake District wouldn't be.
