A spell-binding mystery, packed with suspense…
During the investigation into the death of a woman on a Liverpool housing estate, DI Tara Grogan encounters Callum, a local recluse who claims to have information.
But he won’t help her unless she, in turn, helps him find out the truth about the suspicious death of his wife and child.
Tara is ready to dismiss his outlandish theories and ravings, until she discovers that, like her, he was a student at Latimer College, Oxford. A place which she has very much buried in the past.
Desperate to move forward in her case and curiosity piqued, Tara accepts, but as she delves deeper into the man’s past, it becomes obvious he hasn’t been honest with her.
And when another death is linked to Callum, Tara is confronted by the danger that her own demons have led her to trust the wrong person again.
AN EARLY GRAVE is the first book in a new crime series by Robert McCracken.

Following a double murder, the residents of a small Irish town refuse to give up their secrets.
“This book brims with subtle Irish humour.”
DI Robert Carroll hates rural Magnerstown with a passion. So he’s none too pleased when sent there on a murder investigation.
Two bodies have been fished out of a wishing well that is earmarked to be developed as a tourist attraction.
With more reluctance than a dog on a visit to the vets, Carroll interviews the townsfolk. But his inquiries are not well received.
In fact, Carroll and his assistant – the bright spark, James Sayder – are soon dubbed the local Keystone Cops.
It turns out the bodies are those of two local troublemakers, who no one will miss. Not even their mother, it would seem.
As the investigation inches forward, Carroll slides into a malaise. Increasingly at odds with everyone around him, he is in danger of scuppering the whole case.
Can his assistant, James, step up to the plate to save the day? Or, in the face of the apparent incompetence of the police, will more bodies be found?
THE MYSTERY OF SUNDAYS WELL is a standalone murder mystery. However, readers will also enjoy DEATH IN MAGNERSTOWN in which cantankerous DI Robert Carroll and his intelligent sidekick James Sayder appear for the first time.
Both of these books are FREE with Kindle Unlimited.
