Voices From the Dead (Detectives Roy and Roscoe #8)

A murdered beauty influencer. A buried secret waiting to surface. A killer who’s already one step ahead.

In the picturesque Warwickshire town of Queensbridge, a retired nurse escapes to her hotel room looking for peace from the chaos of her great-nephew’s rowdy thirtieth birthday party. But to her horror she witnesses a brutal crime from her balcony — a young woman strangled in the room opposite.

Detective Sergeant Sunita Roy — staying at the same hotel after attending a nearby wedding — is first on the scene, and quickly realises this isn’t a random attack. The victim, glamorous beauty influencer Candy Goodhope, was living a double life — and everyone close to her has something to hide.

Roy’s boss, DCI Gavin Roscoe, takes charge of the investigation, and as the pair follow the trail, another brutal killing tears through the town. Roy is sure there’s a link between both murders, but Roscoe isn’t convinced.

But as Roy digs deeper, she closes in on a secret so dangerous someone will kill to protect it.

Because in this town, the past never stays buried — and even the dead still have a voice.
