About this ebook

In the misty moors of Cornwall, a chilling discovery forces private investigator Blake Hollow to confront the darkest corners of her past.


Eighteen years ago, Blake's best friend vanished without warning. Now, back in her hometown, she faces a harrowing new case: Lucy Truscott, the daughter of another childhood friend, has gone missing. When Blake discovers Lucy's body, brutally mutilated with ritualistic wounds, memories of her friend’s disappearance flood back—along with the horrifying awareness that the two cases are connected.


As the local police hit dead ends, Blake uncovers a pattern they’ve missed: a series of unsolved disappearances spanning decades, all with the same haunting signature. With time running out, Blake must unmask a killer who’s been perfecting their craft for years—or risk another young woman becoming the next victim in this twisted circle of bones.


'Creepy and gripping... Richards returns with another nail-biter.' The Bookseller


Perfect for fans of Silence of the Lambs and Sharp Objects, 'Circle of Bones' introduces a gripping new British crime series, where a detective’s personal demons are as dangerous as the killer she hunts.

Not all is what it seems, or is it?? I found this book to be quite easy to get absorbed into the story and very eager to find out the twists and turns. Characters are great and well written and can relate to them. I like that when reading with characters that have quirks in them. This book is a great read, will keep you on your toes and what you may think is isnt.

Malcom has outdone himself again. So far, I have loved all of his books but this one is at the top of my list. His new Character, Blake Hollow, comes to life right away and her determination to find her friend’s killer takes you through several twists and turns. This is a must read. You won’t be able to put it down!

I really enjoyed this book. As this was the first in the Blake Hollow series, there was a bit of time spent setting the scene, introducing the character and her background, etc. As fate would have it, Blake's a PI and discovers her friend's daughter has gone missing when she visits her mother in Cornwall. It reminds her of the time her childhood friend went missing and so the story follows Blake's determination to solve the mystery and save the missing girls. There are a few twists and turns along the way, as well as an exciting ending.
