About this listen

'This series is irresistible' LEE CHILD ‘An immersive, intelligent delight' LUCY FOLEY 'The Jake Jackson books get better and better' ELLY GRIFFITHS ‘Highly recommend’ KARIN SLAUGHTER 'A pleasure' BERNARD CORNWELL

A beautiful landscape…

It began as the project of a lifetime – a group of archaeologists, uncovering the remains of a Roman settlement on a beautiful hill in the glorious English countryside.

A looming threat…

But, the idyll is shattered when they begin receiving threatening letters. Former city detective Jake Jackson, now enjoying a quieter life in the local village, is pulled in to investigate.

A killer closing in…

Soon, threatening letters are the least of their problems, when a murderer strikes. And now the race is on for Jake to find them, before they kill again…

I have loved all 3 Stigg Abell books in this series. He characters are beautifully described as is his description of the country side. The stories are exciting

I enjoyed the main characters and the plot was constructed quite well with a reasonable level of suspense

Enjoyable murder mystery

Pleased to return to the landscape and characters…but didn’t find this tale as compelling as the previous 2. Lacked a little of the grit - perhaps the archaeological plot line felt a bit tame. I’m still looking forward to the next one though…

A welcome return to Little Sky
