About this listen

Has the ancient Egyptian cult of immortality resurfaced in Brighton?

When a freshly mummified body is discovered at the Brighton Museum of Natural History, Detective Francis Sullivan is at a loss to identify the desiccated woman. But as Egyptian burial jars of body parts with cryptic messages attached start appearing, he realises he has a serial killer on his hands. Revenge, obsession and an ancient religion form a potent mix, unleashing a wave of terror throughout the city. Caught in a race against time while battling his own demons, Francis must fight to uncover the true identity of the Embalmer before it's too late.

The third story in a trilogy from Alison Belsham (following on from The Tattoo Thief and Her Last Breath) although it stands alone too. Each of the titles are page-turners and as with the first two stories 'The Embalmer' doesn't disappoint if you are looking for a killer with a gruesome M.O. who keeps you guessing til the end. Not to mention there is another plotline that culminates in a very exciting chase on the perilous cliffs of the south coast. And it's good to see The Brighton Pavilion incorporated into the story! I read the first two titles as regular books but with this third title I purchased via and listened to it on Audible and I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. I highly recommend.

Fast paced and exciting thriller based in Brighton
