About this ebook

What if some secrets were never meant to stay buried?

When a parish priest is brutally murdered in cold blood, a rural community is left in shock – and fear.

New to the Vale of the White Horse, Detective Sergeant Mark Turpin discovers the murder bears the hallmark of a vicious killer who shows no remorse for his victim, and leaves no trace behind.

After a second priest is killed, his broken body bearing similar ritualistic abuse, the police are confronted by a horrifying truth – there is a serial killer at large with a disturbing vendetta.

As fear grips the once tranquil countryside, Mark and his team race to uncover a tangle of dark secrets and lies before the killer strikes again.

In doing so, Mark finds out that the truth is more twisted than he could ever have imagined…

None the Wiser is the first book in the Detective Mark Turpin series from USA Today bestselling author Rachel Amphlett.

"Fast paced with vivid characterisation and clever twists – this is another winner” Adrian McKinty, bestselling author of The Chain and the Sean Duffy series

"A terrific start to a new series" Jo Spain, bestselling author of With Our Blessing and The Confession

i enjoyed the writing and felt invested in the characters but sorely disappointed by the glaringly obvious plotline...in the first couple of chapters we know whats what..that it took two thirds of the book for the detectives to supposedly catch on says very little about the skill and imagination of said detectives. That being said a gallant effort was made to add a twist at the end as all the 'coincidences' were more or less stitched together. I will perhaps give a follow on book a chance to see how the characters develop...hopefully they will have burnished up a few detective skills!
