Reflections of Deviance
(2023)(The deadly Detail)
(The fourth book in the Will Traynor Forensic Mystery series)A novel by A J Cross
The bigger the lie, the deadlier the truth . . . Criminologist Will Traynor is the only one who can hunt down a killer hiding in plain sight in a picture-perfect village.
Marion Cane belongs in an exclusive community like Newton Heights. She’s the kind of woman who never has a hair out of place. Who has everything to live for.
Until she is found dead in her beautiful, sprawling home where she lived alone.
Then an anonymous handwritten letter sent to the team hints at foul play. But it doesn’t explain why Marion was increasingly paranoid, losing her grip on reality. Just days before her death, she had sought an exorcism for her home.
Dr Will Traynor is haunted by the memory of failing his wife when she needed him most. He is a broken man, but there’s no time for him to put himself back together.
Because just hours after a villager suggests he knows what happened to Marion, they disappear, and Newton Heights becomes a crime scene once again.
This unputdownable crime mystery full of twists is perfect for fans of Silent Witness, Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, Karin Slaughter, Angela Marsons and Helen H. Durrant.
Please note this book was previously published as Reflections of Deviance.
