The Murder House
Published Mar 2014
When young police constable Helen Anderson takes the files for a forthcoming court case to study over the weekend, she commits a cardinal error. For those files are not supposed to leave the police station, and the moment they fall into the wrong hands, Helen’s ordinary, uneventful life begins to spiral out of control. One small lie will lead to another, then another – culminating in a rendezvous in an ordinary suburban house on an ordinary Bristol street … the scene of a gruesome and extraordinary murder. With one twist following close upon another, this compelling psychological thriller marks an intriguing new departure for crime writer Simon Beaufort, author of the acclaimed Sir Geoffrey Mappestone series.
