On her first day back from maternity leave, Detective Sam Shephard is thrown straight into a cold-case investigation – the unsolved murder of a highly respected Anglican Priest in Dunedin.
The case has been a thorn in the side of the Police hierarchy, and for her boss it’s personal.
With all the witness testimony painting a picture of a dedicated church and family man, what possible motive could there have been for his murder?
But when Sam starts digging deeper into the case, it becomes apparent someone wants the sins of the past to remain hidden. And when a new potential witness to the crime is found brutally murdered, there is pressure from all quarters to solve the case before anyone else falls prey.
But is it already too late…?
Prey by Vanda Symon is published by Orenda Books on 29 August 2024 and is the latest in the Sam Shephard mystery series.
I read this one a few months ago and truly believe it is the best of the series so far. My review will be published in The Mature Times, September edition and I will share it then.
As part of this Blog Tour, I am delighted to have one copy of Prey to give away. Entry is simple, just fill out the competition widget in the blog post. UK entries only please
