When a member of an all-female book club based in Middleton, Leeds, is brutally murdered, George and the team are called to action.
At first, the case appears to be relatively open and shut. But, as evidence mounts and they begin to unpick the woman’s life, George uncovers some shocking truths about the victim and the lies and secrets she kept that, if exposed, threatens to tear the small community apart.
And as the dead bodies rack up, most of them belonging to the book club, George knows he must find the sadistic killer before it’s too late.
The New Forest Village Book Club is the eighth book in the Detective George Beaumont thriller series, set in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
