A quiet farming town where all they reap is death. A corpse, a missing girl, and a mysterious family's dangerous obsession with bull running provide a sinister backdrop to Detective Inspector Marjory Fleming's first murder investigation.
To find the killer, DI Fleming must unearth an evil presence that has long been in hiding, all the while praying that her very first case will not be her last . . .

“I would give this 3½ solid stars, but as I am generous today, it'll have to be a 4-star review. It took a while to get into, but it sure paid out. It is atmospheric and dialogue driven. Templeton is a very good writer, so there have (or is it has?) to be a four!
(Please forgive my poor English, my excuse is I’m Swedish)”
“Foot and mouth disease hits the Scottish countryside. While digging a mass grave to put the dead livestock a body appears. Miles away Laura has decided to go to this small area and look for clues to what happened to her sister.
A deep police procedural deals with an archaeological body find, missing persons, murder, and a community hit with foot and mount. The agricultural disease is detailed very well leading to the effect on the community as their livelihood is slaughtered. Meanwhile, human death is at the forefront and a person is missing and a body is found. This is a slow burn and character-based rather than plot. More than halfway through the plot picks up and it's an intelligent crime with many possible culprits. I enjoyed the DI, Morjory, a strong, sharp woman at work who deals with managing a family and helping out at their farm while at home. I'd certainly try the next in the series.”
