"Addictive, horrifying and brilliant!" - 5 stars, Rachel Gilbey from Rachel's Random Reads, on THE HIVE, also by Jane Holland
When
a man's severed head is found, Detective Sergeant Jack Church struggles
to identify the victim. Until a vicar's estranged daughter reports her
father missing.
Stella Penhaligon hadn't spoken to her father in
years. But she's at a loss to understand why anyone would have murdered
him - and in such an horrific way. Determined to bring his killer to
justice, she knows that finding her father's remains could hold the key.
An expert in the ancient art of horary astrology, traditionally used to
answer queries and locate missing items, Stella employs her skills with
uncanny results.
Only DS Church doesn't believe in astrology,
and suspicion soon falls on Stella instead. It seems she'll need to
identify and locate the killer too, if she wants justice for her father.
But the deeper she digs, the more of the reverend's dark secrets she
uncovers ...
Did Stella really know her father at all?
