The Graveyard Girls A Totally Gripping Serial Killer Thriller
Synopsis
Detective Ellie Reeves is called to a deserted graveyard where the skeletal remains of a teenage girl have been buried. In the dirt beside the grave lies one red shoe, the match of the one sixteen-year-old Ruth Higgins wore on the day she disappeared years earlier.
The whole town grieved for Ruth. Her suspected killer, the gravedigger Earl Bramble, slipped out of police custody and has not been seen since. Ellie knows she has little time to work the case.
Then a second call comes in. Another teenage girl, a recent runaway, has been found buried with a single red shoe. The evidence points to Earl's return. At the old clapboard house where his daughters still live, they tell Ellie they know nothing about their father.
Ellie needs her team behind her, but as she makes progress she learns that one of her most trusted colleagues has a link from the past to the gravedigger's daughters. It upends what she believed about the case.
Parents are frightened and more girls are in danger. The question is whether Ellie can find the killer before he takes another life. It is a serial killer crime thriller, opening with two sisters who watch a figure in a dark coat and ski hat from their bedroom window.
