The body of a young boy is discovered at the bottom of a well that has been sealed for 200 years.

Fascinating book!

Great detective novel, with a twist, combining the real crime fiction with bit of other-worldly fantasy.
The mystery keeps you guessing. The heritage aspect is fascinating and once more, the social aspects of crime hits home.
aA really good book that I could not put down!

Great

This is a terrific book if slightly black. I love the protagonist be able to speak to the dead. It’s slightly sad really.
On to the next.
