Publisher Description
From the author of Slow Horses and soon to be an Original Series from Apple TV+ starring Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson.
CWA Gold Dagger winner Mick Herron's debut novel introduces Sarah Tucker, whose search for a missing child unravels a murderous conspiracy.
It's an evening like any other when an explosion rips through the leafy Oxford suburb Sarah Tucker calls home. In the aftermath, a house now stands devastated, with two adults dead and a young girl missing.
With the police more interested in keeping the neighbors from rubbernecking than in searching for the missing child, Sarah becomes obsessed with finding her, and enlists the help of Oxford private investigator Zoë Boehm. But Sarah's and Zoë's search reveals more secrets than answers. As Zoë and Sarah draw closer to the truth, they are caught in a web of conspiracy and come up against government forces, cold-blooded mercenaries and vengeful loners.
Down Cemetery Road is CWA Diamond Dagger winner Mick Herron's debut novel and the first book in the Zoë Boehm series.
Customer Reviews
I’m with Herron
His writing is exceptional, the humor he can wring out of otherwise tense situations fantastic, and the plot twists outstanding. The magnificent Slough House series hooked me, now after trying other authors I’m back for more, and not in the least disappointed. On to the next in this series!
Female characters somewhat annoying
I love Mick Herron’s Slough House series and his style in general. “Down Cemetery Road” had female characters with boring internal monologues which IMO made it somewhat boring. I sincerely hope Sarah Tucker does not resurface in any other books, I was sort of hoping she would get killed… Hope Zoe’s character gets more no-nonsense and entertaining in further books 🤞🏻
