Bad DeedsA Yorkshire Murder Mystery
When beloved local mechanic, Mike, causes a serious motoring accident, DCI Grimm’s instincts tell him something is very wrong. But with no trail of evidence to follow, he is left grappling in the dark for clues.
Then, in the usually tranquil Swaledale village of Muker, the local baker is poisoned, and a chilling reality unfolds: these accidents are no string of coincidences, but orchestrated acts of malice conducted by a shadowy foe.
As the paranoia intensifies and the stakes escalate, Harry is drawn deeper into a labyrinth of deception and betrayal. Can he untangle a sinister web of secrets before the next bad deed becomes murder?
Brace yourself for a gripping thriller that explores the fine line between community loyalty and hidden treachery, where even the most charming village can harbour a heart of darkness.
