The body hung from rusted shackles, a lifeless bag of flesh and bone. The killing part appalled him. That was why he needed her. Forensic Psychologist Dr Chrissy Ferguson returns to her childhood home in the Scottish Highlands to confront the pain she locked away in her mother's house when she walked out four years ago. However, when the mutilated body of a missing local woman -a woman Chrissy was trying hard to forget -is discovered, drained of blood and discarded like trash, she must question everything she thought she knew about her life in Kinloch Rannoch. DCI Ross Fraser, the fastidious detective leading the case, connects the woman's death to chilling cold cases spanning decades -unsolved murders where young women were brutally slain. As Chrissy becomes embroiled in Ross's case, long-buried memories resurface, and secrets from the past crash into the unfolding present. But what does Chrissy truly know? And can she trust DCI Ross Fraser before another life is lost? Thrilling, unpredictable, and utterly compelling, The Killing Shed is a dark and immersive mystery that will haunt you long after you turn the last page. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, Rachel McLean, JD Kirk and Angela Marsons, you won't want to miss this unforgettable start to a new crime series.
Autorenporträt
Inspired by her Scottish home, C.L. Janet (Clare) writes murder mysteries set against the dramatic, breath-taking and sometimes unforgiving backdrop of the Highland Perthshire. Complimented for her ability to draw readers into the lives of her characters, Clare uses her diverse life experiences to weave enthralling narratives that place the reader at the heart of the story. Born in South Yorkshire to a working-class family, Clare dreamed big, leaving her native Doncaster for London at 17yrs of age to study ballet. Dance careers are short and as age crept up, she began to look for something beyond pointe shoes and performances, eventually returning to school to study for a Doctorate in Psychology. Since obtaining her Ph.D. sixteen years ago, Clare has worked as an academic, lecturing to university students and authoring numerous scientific papers. An enduring dream to pursue more creative writing came to fruition after a family tragedy caused her to re-evaluate the important things in life. Now, she combines the shaping of young minds with writing novels and spending time with the loves of her life - her husband Ian and Nessie, the rather noisy bearded collie.
