First installment of Kate Ellis' Wesley Peterson detective series. Detective Sergeant Peterson, recently transferred from London to the quiet Devon town of Tradmouth, is assigned to investigate the murder of an unidentified young woman on his first day at the new job. Wesley also stumbles across an old college friend, Neil Watson, now working as an archeologist on a dig in the same town. I really enjoyed the mix of murder mystery and historical thriller. Great characters in the book too. Looking forward to reading more in this series!
