A Harvest of Souls

An Oxford Detective Thriller (DI Joseph Stone Crime Thrillers, Book 5)

De: J.R. Sinclair

Narrado por: Patrick FitzSymons

Some secrets are meant to stay buried.

For decades, the quiet village of Windridge has hidden its past behind hedgerows, tradition, and silence. But when human remains dating back to 1965 are unearthed at a local archaeological dig, old fears begin to surface—and long-buried crimes refuse to stay forgotten.

DI Joseph Stone and DC Megan Anderson are drawn into a deeply unsettling investigation, one steeped in superstition, suspicion, and whispers of ancient ritual. At the centre of the village’s growing hysteria is Charlotte Harris, a reclusive farmer whose solitary life and unsettling reputation make her an easy target.

As the detectives dig deeper, they uncover a pattern of deception and fear that binds past atrocities to present-day violence. With tensions rising and the truth distorted by folklore and paranoia, separating fact from myth becomes increasingly dangerous.

Meanwhile, the threat of the Night Watchmen looms ever closer—reaching into the police force itself and placing Joseph’s family directly in harm’s way. The investigation is no longer just about justice. It’s about survival.

As the village edges toward panic and the body count threatens to rise, Joseph and Megan must expose the real killers before Windridge’s darkest secrets claim more lives.

Narrated by Patrick FitzSymons, A Harvest of Souls is a dark, atmospheric British crime thriller where folklore, fear, and modern corruption collide. Brooding, unsettling, and rich with menace, it is the gripping fifth instalment in the DI Joseph Stone series.

Ideal for listeners who enjoy rural noir, slow-burning tension, and mysteries where the past refuses to stay silent.
