If you go down to the woods today…

When DC Rose Gifford is called to investigate the death of a woman in Elford Country Park, she knows there is more to the case than meets the eye. Suzette’s broken body was found at the foot of a climbing centre after a terrible storm – but this was no accident. Was it?

You’re in for a big surprise…

Suzette isn’t the only person to have died in the woods. The park has claimed three other young lives – and there must be a connection. And when the police discover that Elford is situated on an ancient plague pit, things take an even darker turn…

What really happened out in the forest that night? And how many others will fall victim to the woods before Rose can crack the case?

Critic reviews

'Green takes us through this twisty, tightly packed thriller with her usual panache. Her writing is exciting, often darkly humorous and honed to perfection.' My Weekly

‘A fascinating, eerie, and compelling police procedural with a creepy edge, and a knockout protagonist. Procedurally very tight, so get on and get it ordered!’ Neil Lancaster

‘With shades of The Sixth Sense and lead character so likable, I want to invite her round for dinner, I loved Down Among The Dead. It was twisty and dark, compelling and deeply satisfying. Loved it!’ Rachael Blok

‘Dark, spooky and mysterious – another compelling case for DC Rose Gifford and a treat for fans of C.S. Green’s addictive series of novels.’ Emma Haughton

‘Another gripping crime thriller with a fascinating supernatural twist’ Jane Isaac

‘Where has this series been all my life? A binge-worthy police procedural with a difference. Spooky, thought-provoking and compelling. I loved it!’ Catherine Quinn

'Supernatural, yet plausible fiction is incredibly difficult to get right but CS Green manages it with ease, and, with Rose, has also managed to create a credible and likeable main character. The book is beautifully paced with a gorgeous dollop of humour and although I love this series you could easily read 'Down Among the Dead' as a first introduction to the fascinating world of a very unusual police department.' Sinead Crowley

I love a crime thriller with a hint of the supernatural so almost as soon as I'd finished book 2 I started this one. Rose and her UCIT team are called in to investigate the death of a women at a climbing centre at Elford Country Park and next to the body is a creepy stick doll known as a poppet. Just the mention of that doll sent shivers down my spine. The book is well written and perfectly paced with some good twists. We did get some answers to questions about Rose's backstory in this book and I felt very sorry for her as her personal problems started to spiral out of control. I really, really hope that there will be more books in this series.

Excellent narration by Lisa Coleman.

Excellent supernatural crime thriller
