The Whitby Murders (A Yorkshire Murder Mystery Book 6)

It’s Halloween and DCI Jim Oldroyd’s daughter Louise joins some friends at a Goth festival in the Yorkshire town of Whitby…which also happens to be the home of Bram Stoker’s literary creation Count Dracula. But the day descends into tragedy when a visit to an escape room ends in one of the group stabbing his girlfriend and fleeing the scene. There are three witnesses to the crime and Louise refuses to take what she saw at face value. DCI Jim Oldroyd and DS Carter are called in to investigate, with Louise assisting on the sidelines. But the deeper they fall into their inquiries the more complex the web of deceit surrounding the crime, and Oldroyd soon realises that there’s more to the case than a simple crime of passion. With a violent murderer on the loose it’s only a matter of time before somebody else is killed. Can Oldroyd find the killer, expose the truth, and protect his daughter?
