Why Did He Die?

Why Did He Die?

Who hated Jago Carey enough to kill him?

The gruesome murder of Jago Carey in the staff accommodation of Park Hall, an idyllic Cornish country mansion, brings DI Grace Tallis back to work, with a new partner, DS Max Wilton.

Suspects abound. All have secrets to hide, but who loathed, feared or resented him enough to kill? The police enquiry uncovers a web of lies woven into the lives of everyone connected with Jago Carey.

As the investigation continues the beautiful land surrounding Park Hall begins to reveal more hidden horrors. As the body count rises the remains of one young woman link Jago Carey to a serial killer who was at work in the Cornish countryside almost two decades ago.  Like Eddie Hammett, his mentor, Jago had a taste for those who no one would miss.

The detectives begin to uncover the true horror hidden behind the glamourous façade, Jago Carey’s sickening craving for the vulnerable. Was Jago’s death connected to his circle of acquaintances, or to those whose lives he ended and whose unmarked graves he looked out on every day.

This is the third novel in DI Grace Tallis series, all of which are set in the stunning Cornish countryside.
