🎉🥂Happy publication day to Victoria Dowd – Threefold Death, her second Charlotte Blood mystery, is out today.👏📢
This novel follows on from Death in the Avery, and finds investigative journalist Charlotte hoping for a huge scoop as archaeologists plan to open the tomb of Queen Boudica, who led Celtic Britons against the Romans in 60AD.
But what’s discovered is more for the forensic lab than a Time Team Special. There is evidence of ritual murder following an ancient coda known as the Threefold Death – by drowning, stabbing and hanging.
Now the appropriately named Charlotte Blood has a different kind of scoop to investigate, and when another crime is committed, could this become a threefold Threefold Death?
It's always a good feeling when you discover a new crime author, and this book comes with such a creepy, gothic vibe it'll have you turning the pages. One of the key themes is obsession, and the book is set in the 1920s as well, with a strong female protagonist.
