About this listen

DI Kelly Porter is about to discover just how dark things can get in the Lake District.

When a young woman is found unclothed, unspeaking at an ancient stone circle it's not clear if any crime has been committed. DI Kelly Porter and her team start looking into the circumstances, but the mystery girl disappears.

Soon after, a brutal murder is committed and sinister markings at the scene indicate that the killer had a message. The investigation reveals that in the beautiful Lake District there are those who believe in ancient ways, and within those circles old resentments are spilling over into terrible violence.

Kelly has all the pieces to solve the puzzle, but to put them together she must confront a figure from her past: One who nearly destroyed all that she holds dear. Will she avoid the same fate this time, or can the killer stay one step ahead of her to the bitter end?

A captivating and atmospheric detective novel from a rising star in British crime fiction, perfect for fans of Patricia Gibney and Cara Hunter.

i enjoy this series for the most part. Kelly from the Lake District has shaped up as strong character, leading a crack team, solving complex crimes. But she is definitely not on form in this book. Perhaps the writer felt Kelly's successes had become a bit overblown and wanted to throw some challenges her way. But rather than triumphing in adversity, in Blood Rites, the usually smart DI seems to lose it completely, failing to join simple dots or even figure out whodunnit when a witness tells her!! Not the best in the series. I'd recommend the earlier books.

Kelly loses the plot
