The Wychford Murders

Meet Detective Inspector Luke Abbott. Set in the West Country, The Wychford Murders is the first in the series, from CWA Golden Dagger winner Paula Gosling.

Wychford is a charming and quiet West Country village. Or rather, it was – until Mrs Tompkins was found with her throat slashed.

Detective Chief Inspector Luke Abbott is sent to find the killer. He was born and brought up in Wychford – but he hardly recognizes it. The young girl he loved has become the local doctor. The boy who once bullied him is now a respected local Squire. And the people of Wychford are in hiding – fearful of who will next fall victim to the killer’s bloody knife.

There are secrets behind these doors – love and hate, perversion, envy, greed and – eventually – a ruthless murderer . . .
