Rebecca Alexander's latest novel A Shroud of Leaves continues where A Baby's Bones left off as heroine Sage Westfield is working alongside the police and forensic teams to investigate the murder of a young woman, buried in a shallow grave, close to the site of the disappearance of another young woman more than twenty years before and a young man over a hundred years earlier. Still having flashbacks to her own frightening ordeal a few months before and struggling with new motherhood, it's no wonder that Sage finds the work upsetting, but despite this she is determined to find answers and get justice for the young woman who was so callously discarded. The connections between the most recent murder, the twenty year old missing person case and the mysterious young archaeologist who vanished in 1913 are all slowly revealed in this fast paced crime thriller. Interweaving the stories and elements of folklore, myth and magic. A Shroud of Leaves will appeal to fans of Elly Griffiths Ruth Galloway series and George Mann's Wychwood books.
