The Tenth House Murders (Stella Penhaligon Thrillers Book 2)

"Fast paced and packed with action, kept me reading well into the night! It grips and doesn’t let go, with a well thought-out plot and really strong characters who leap to life on the page." - Amazon reviewer of UNDER AN EVIL STAR

Second in a series of crime thrillers set in Cornwall, from bestselling writer, Jane Holland.

Following a spate of gruesome local murders, police are no nearer to finding either a motive or the killer.

DS Jack Church approaches astrologer Stella Penhaligon for help with the linked murders, despite misgivings. But Stella has just started teaching an evening class and is reluctant to get involved this time. Until, deep in research mode, she spots an obscure piece of astrological lore about the tenth 'house' of a horary chart, and knows it may provide a clue.

Should she use it to deduce the identity of the mysterious killer, or leave well alone? For not only is this killer highly dangerous, but Stella is beginning to doubt her gift ...
