St. Benet's is a gripping crime thriller, the second in a chilling series of serial killer books, ones which will rapidly convert followers of Faith Martin, Joy Ellis and Damien Boyd into David Blake devotees.
When the body of an old man is found lying in the ruins of St Benet’s Abbey, his throat cut, a knife resting in his open hand, DI John Tanner and DC Jenny Evans are given no choice but to accept a ruling of death by misadventure.
But when the body goes missing from its tomb, after a priest is found nailed to a cross, and another impaled on a stake, everything begins to point back to the murder of a teenage girl, thrown from the top of a church tower, some 43 years before.
Set within the mysterious beauty of the Norfolk Broads, this fast-paced British detective series is a murder mystery with a slice of humour and a touch of romance, one that will have you guessing until the very end.

St. Benet’s by David Blake is another masterclass in crime fiction that proves why he has become one of the most engaging voices in the genre today. Set against the haunting backdrop of the Norfolk Broads, Blake weaves an intricately layered murder mystery that is as atmospheric as it is compelling.
From the opening chapters, the mood is immediately established: eerie waterways, abandoned churches, and the chilling presence of secrets lurking beneath the surface of an otherwise tranquil landscape. Blake’s ability to turn setting into character is unmatched—St. Benet’s Abbey and the surrounding Broads aren’t just scenery, but a living, breathing presence that amplifies tension and foreboding with every page.
The plot is gripping and expertly paced. A suspicious death near the ruins of St. Benet’s Abbey sets the tone for an investigation that quickly spirals into something much darker. Detective John Tanner—Blake’s sharp, relatable, and wonderfully human protagonist—once again demonstrates why readers root for him. Tanner’s dogged pursuit of truth, paired with his no-nonsense style, gives the story its heart. He is not a flashy hero but a grounded and highly believable one, which makes his victories all the more satisfying.
Blake’s writing is clear, confident, and utterly immersive. He blends vivid description with snappy dialogue and just the right amount of humor to balance the darker moments. The authenticity of police work and the organic development of character relationships give the book an added layer of realism.
What sets St. Benet’s apart is the way Blake builds tension. Just when you think you’ve figured out the culprit or motive, he masterfully twists the narrative, keeping you second-guessing until the very end. The climax is not only shocking but also deeply satisfying, tying together every thread in a way that feels both clever and earned.
For fans of crime thrillers, police procedurals, and atmospheric mysteries, St. Benet’s is an absolute gem. David Blake continues to elevate the Norfolk Broads series, combining strong storytelling with richly evocative settings and unforgettable characters.
Highly recommended—a 5-star read that grips you from the first page and doesn’t let go until the final revelation.

It's still a real winner in the investigation and plot twist arena but the bed hopping between members of the same force seemed unnecessary to me. There is a new DCI for cause and a replacement for the DI who was killed off in Broadland but the crew is much more cohesive now.
Tanner still lives on that boat without running water.
The victims who are tortured and murdered are all Roman Catholic clergy but trying to find the real thread that you know is there, that they are definitely not random, is a tough slog.
The red herrings are sneaky, but the plot twists are beyond diabolical. I'm re-evaluating how I feel about this series but will try the next one.
The audio is performed by Jonathan Keeble is basically terrific but does get a mite dramatic sometimes.
Snarky, grisly, twisty
