About the book
If you can't live with the truth, bury it...
When the body of a teenage girl is discovered on a remote Lincolnshire beach, her pale, waxen skin gleams in the weak winter light. Jessica Hudson has been deliberately laid out, posed as if asleep — a final, staged stillness from which she will never wake.
To her family and friends, Jessica was outgoing, well liked, and full of promise. But as Detective Inspector Freya Bloom digs deeper, a different picture begins to emerge. Jessica was hiding a dangerous secret — one tied to someone who cared for her deeply. And in a close-knit community where everyone loved Jessica Hudson, that leaves no shortage of suspects.
Newly transferred from London, Freya’s first case in Lincolnshire proves to be a baptism of fire. Still carrying the psychological scars of a previous investigation, the experienced detective finds herself under pressure from the outset, questioning her instincts as resistance within the team mounts.
From the wind-scoured sand dunes to a fractious incident room, Freya battles mistrust, buried loyalties, and a case that refuses to stay contained. Then, just as answers begin to surface, tragedy strikes again.
Can Freya untangle the web of deception before more lives are lost? And among those who claimed to have loved Jessica Hudson, who had the most to lose?
Secrets In Blood is the unforgettable first book in the Wild Fens Murder Mystery series by Jack Cartwright. Filled with twists, peppered with romance, and flavoured with humour, the Wild Fens Murder Mystery series is perfect for fans of JD Kirk, JM Dalgliesh, Ann Cleeves, and Rachel McClean.
