The Curse Of The Ayton Witches: The Third Inspector McClennan Mystery (The Inspector McClennan Mysteries Book 3)

In the long awaited third book in this popular murder mystery series set in Cumbria in the north-west of England, it is September 2003, six months after the case of the 'Ayton Swans'.

The body of a young woman is discovered in a hairdressing salon. Within days, the body of a second victim is found in the same street. At the same time, several apparently unconnected individuals receive threatening anonymous letters. As he attempts to find the killer, Detective Inspector David McClennan encounters constant reminders of a curse put on the area by a group of seventeenth century women who were executed as witches, a curse which appears to be increasingly relevant to current events.

In search of the truth, the inspector must separate myth from reality, along the way learning some astonishing facts.
