The Killing Shed

Chrissy Ferguson, Book 1

Someone is still waiting for her to come home. She never will.

Forensic psychologist Dr Chrissy Ferguson thought she had escaped Kinloch Rannoch for good. But when a teenage girl disappears, she is reluctantly pulled back to the place she once called home.

Dragged into the investigation by DCI Ross Fraser, Chrissy quickly realises this is no ordinary murder. The girl has been stabbed and drained of blood, yet the crime scene is eerily clean.

There is no DNA.

No witnesses.

And no mistakes.

As the investigation deepens, Chrissy and Ross uncover other girls, other sheds and other unsolved deaths – cold cases with the same chilling details. Someone has been perfecting this method for years. A killer who prepares carefully, who controls every detail and who leaves nothing behind.

While Chrissy begins to unravel the killer's thinking, the past she tried to escape starts closing in. The answer to everything may lie in fragments of a buried memory she has never been able to fully recall.

But some memories are buried for a reason.

The Killing Shed is the first book in the Chrissy Ferguson Mysteries by C.L. Janet. A dark, atmospheric crime thriller set in the Scottish Highlands, perfect for listeners who enjoy remote locations, troubled protagonists and long-buried secrets.
