Description

In the rugged wilderness of Dartmoor, school teacher Sophie Parsons vanishes without a trace during a weekend trek. For Detective Inspector Jacob Knox, Sophie’s disappearance stirs unsettling echoes of a previous case involving another woman who vanished in the same desolate moorland six months earlier.

As Knox delves deeper, he uncovers the complexities of Sophie’s personal life, including a secret affair with a charismatic colleague and a tense relationship with her long-term boyfriend, Peter. But Sophie’s tangled love life is just the beginning of Knox’s troubles. A local legend about a beast stalking the moors resurfaces, fueling public fear and media speculation. Is it just a myth, or could something more sinister be at play?

With time running out and the possibility that two women have been claimed by the moor, Knox faces his toughest case yet—one that will test him professionally and personally. As the case unfolds, Knox realises the dark truths buried beneath the surface of Sophie’s life may be the key to unlocking the mystery.

Introducing DI Jacob Knox, Hollow Ground is a gripping crime thriller set in the eerie beauty of Devon’s Dartmoor, blending elements of mystery, suspense, and psychological depth to explore the blurred lines between human vulnerability and the unknown.

A fast paced plot that has well developed characters. Women are going missing while hiking alone and clues are non-existent. Frustrated DI Knox pours over all the case notes and is in the field constantly. Having his alcoholic brother in his home is a complication he did not anticipate. Working to exhaustion trying to prevent another abduction seems to be getting him nowhere. Then odd facts about the women's past begin to show a pattern. Any British suspense fan will enjoy this book.

I really enjoyed reading this book. It’s a brilliant debut by Freya Wallace. Very well written story and characters. Knox is a very likeable character and I would definitely continue reading this series. I could also seeing this being a great tv series!

Thank you Netgally and Freya Wallace for the opportunity to read the eARC.
