- Second book in the Ben Cooper and Diane Fry series

A newspaper and magazine journalist for over 25 years, Stephen Booth was born in the English Pennine town of Burnley. He was brought up on the coast at Blackpool, where he began his career in journalism by editing his school magazine and wrote his first 'novel' at the age of 13.

Stephen gave up journalism in 2001 to write crime novels full time. He and his wife Lesley live in a former Georgian dower house near Retford, Nottinghamshire, in Robin Hood country.

The Peak District can be a beautiful place in summer and attracts visitors from miles around and one of the attractions that draws people to it, even though it is in one of the more remote areas is a ring of standing stone called the Nine Virgins. They carry ... Read More:

- A real page-turner
Jenny Weston has been killed, stabbed to death in a stone circle known as the Nine Virgins. Another woman, an apparent associate of hers, Ros Daniels, is missing. A third, Maggie Crew, barely escapes her attacker... but is physically and mentally disfigured as a result.

Is there a blood-thristy psychopath attacking women... or is there something much worse going on?

This was an excellent read, I was engrossed from start to finish. The plot is multi-layered and cleverly constructed, with characters you genuinely care about - whilst at the same time becoming suspicious of them. There is a dark, windswept, desolate atmosphere to this story which reflects it's setting perfectly. And there are quite a few jaw-dropping moments.

- Enveloping!
This is the first book by this author that I've read, but it certainly won't be my last! The pace of the story is superb, drawing the reader in very gently until you suddenly realise that you're totally hooked! Towards the end of the book, I couldn't wait to find out the truth about what events had really taken place and I kept reading at every opportunity (even at work, with the book hidden in my desk drawer!). I know it's the wrong way round (I've read the second novel first!), but I can't wait to read Black Dog and then Blood on the Tongue. Superb author, superb work!

- Another good novel from Stephen Booth
Another good novel from Stephen Booth, I really enjoyed it and I thought that Stephen is very good at describing, the pace of the novel was very fast and I think that the character Diane Fry is very good in the book, she does not stand any nonsense and I think that Ben Cooper has to watch his step.
I think that Stephen is a very good crime writer and I hope to start reading Blood on the Tongue now that I have bought the book.

- Dancing With The Virgins
Ranger Mark Roper loved to patrol the hills of the Peak District. But on this particular day something was wrong. Something made him feel very uneasy.

No matter how many times he tried to roust his supervisor on the radio, he had no luck. He was alone, and felt very uncomfortable. Suddenly, as he comes around a bend in the trail, he sees just what has made him uncomfortable. There in the middle of the circle, made of huge stones, lay the body of a girl. Her body arranged in a grotesque dance, a dance of death.

Only weeks prior another woman had been attacked in the area. Scarred, physically and mentally, she had survived death, but her life had still been taken from her.

Diane Fry, and Ben Cooper team ... Read More:
