Kate returns from a disastrous honeymoon, only to be plunged into a
macabre murder investigation.
A teenage girl last seen leaving a party at the height of a local
scarecrow festival is found strangled and partially stripped in her own
barn.
The gruesome crime is an exact copy of the 150-year-old murder of
peasant girl, Martha Tinney, alleged by superstitious locals to have
been committed by a spectral scarecrow, nicknamed Strawfoot.
Kate and her colleagues desperately try to track down the copycat
killer, it becomes apparent that he has no intention of stopping at just
one murder, and now, he's developed an unhealthy interest in Kate
herself....
Perfect for fans of Rachel Abbott, Robert Bryndza, Mel Sherratt, Angela
Marsons, Colin Dexter, or Ruth Rendell.
