When the decaying body of a murdered woman is discovered following an anonymous tip off, DI Wesley Peterson has problems establishing her identity.

But as he digs deeper, he has another more disturbing case to investigate – the naked bodies of two teenagers have been found with shotgun wounds at the foot of a cliff.

Both cases become stranger when Wesley realises they are linked to a sinister manhunt, mirroring events from the time of the Napoleonic Wars.

Then a skeleton is found near the place where the dead teenagers were last seen alive and Wesley finally has to face a terrible truth...and a hunt to the death.

I love Kate Ellis's Wesley Peterson series and when I saw she had a new one out (The Mechanical Devil) I was surprised to realise I had bought this one but not read it. However, when I started reading I realised why - the murder victims are teenagers and I usually try to avoid reading books about dead or missing children. But it turned out the teenagers in question are over eighteen so I needn't have worried.

Barney and Sophie are fans of an online game called Blood Hunt, so much so that they decide to take part in a real life version, involving being chased naked through the local woods. I suppose these things always seem like a good idea at the time! A few days later their bodies are found at the foot of a cliff. Is there any connection between their deaths and that of a woman found dead in her suburban home - and the skeleton discovered while digging up a sixteen year old art installation?

In these books there is always a historical mystery running parallel with the story, and in this case it is about the local lord of the manor who enjoyed the same kind of hunt that these computer games are based on.

The thing I love most about Kate Ellis's books is the way she ties up all these seemingly unrelated murders in each story - fiendishly clever! I never guess who the villain is. I had a slight inkling towards the end of this one, but only because we were fast running out of suspects!

Thoroughly recommended, especially for readers who love traditional murder mysteries, especially the kind with a puzzle at their heart.

What a shocking ending....................

Is this the most shocking ending to a book I've ever read? Of course I'm not going to divulge it.............

I've read all of the Wesley Peterson novels more or less in order and can't in truth say this was the best. There was a fair rash of characters and they didn't always seem to fit into the plot as neatly as usual, nor did past and present seem to hang together so seamlessly. Gerry and Wes continue their very easy-going relationship and Ellis really does work wonders in blending them into this. She is excellent in the manner in which she puts the meat onto the bones of her characters so that the reader feels the nuances in their conversations. If you want a novel which goes out with a bang this is the one.

Not as interesting as usual

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 February 2015

Having read and enjoyed several in this series, I was looking forward to another Kate Ellis novel, with its mixture of murder revealed in the past, and it's present day counterpart. Wesley Peterson makes a sympathetic detective as a young West Indian feeling rather out of place, having settled in the West Country with his family. Unfortunately, I found the story totally bizarre and and most of the characters unbelievable so have decided to award only 2 stars this time. Just not for me.
