In the shadows of friendship, some secrets are too dangerous to keep. Thirty years of silence has finally come to an end. When Dr Harrison Lane, head of the Ritualistic Behavioural Crime unit, is called to a remote Yorkshire cave, he finds a horrifying scene of murder. The victim, wearing the mask of an Egyptian deity, is found amid flickering candlelight and symbols painted in blood on the cave walls. The terrified witnesses talk of growling spirit mists and a killer they couldn’t see; and as Harrison works to unravel the symbolic clues, his worst fears are soon realised! Good book! This book was a bit different from what I usually read, it had great suspense, ritualistic murders, revenge, past dark secrets, and a good who done it! The storyline was interesting! I definitely recommend reading this mystery! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

According to the blurb this is the 10th book in the Dr Harrison series. Well they have definitely slipped under my radar as this is the first for me. Perfect as a standalone, the plot lost nothing at all in being so far in.

I really liked the characters and thought they were well developed and very interesting. A good plot with a a few twists, though the culprit was spotted fairly early on.

A clever protagonist with a good heart, I shall definitely be looking out for more Dr Harrison books!

A recommended read from me.

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing.

I'm writing sleep deprived because this a page turner that kept in the "one more chapter mood" till my adult part ordered to stop.
Fast faced, intriguing, never stops surprising and it's thoroughly enjoyable
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

This was such an interesting read for me. I was intrigued by the concept of a ritualistic behaviour expert and how that would tie into the crime aspects of this novel and I think the author did a great job. I haven’t read the earlier books so I appreciated that I could read this as a standalone.

Gwyn Bennett has included so much research and information about Egyptian Gods and how their religions have affected modern religions and it felt natural so I wasn’t overloaded with text book like references. I love that it was well-researched and everything had a logical conclusion that didn’t take away from the creepy aspects of “satanic cult.”

I was slightly disappointed by the killer. I felt it was pretty obvious early on in the book but the writing style is incredibly enjoyable and the murders were so creative so I had a great time reading this.

Thank you to Storm publishing and NetGalley for allowing me to read an ARC of this book. This is my honest opinion.

The eygptian and satanic theme make this book totally unique and thrilling. Definitely gorey i raced through this. Its excellent very gripping.
