A former hospital for the criminally insane has been converted into flats. In one of them Lydia has repeated nightmares. There are spooky goings-on in the basement. And somebody is reviving the MO of a deceased serial killer inmate. Does Lydia need the help of a policeman or an exorcist?

Exciting despite the use of a technique I think is cheating (see spoiler below)

rwmg sometimes putting us inside the killer's head giving their thoughts and feelings without letting on that they are the killer rather than relying on outward observation of the characters by the sleuths 14mo

This is the fourth book in the D I Joe Plantagenet Series, a Detective series set in the fictional historic city of Eborby (for Eborby Read York!). They are good murder mysteries that keep you fully involved throughout, and are usually rooted in events from the past. They are quite quick reads and usually involve a supernatural element in some shape or form, and this is done very well. I do recommend this series to those Detective fans out there.

Starting the fourth one in the D I Joe Plantagenet Series which is a Detective series set in Eborby (a fictional town but clearly based on York) with a supernatural & ghostly dimension to the books. The books are quite short but am really enjoying them and recommend them to anyone that enjoys Good British Detective Fiction. Quite a short series, only 5 so far & the last one so far was produced in 2015. Reading as part of a Group Read I am leading.
