Grave Tattoo | Val McDermid

4 posts | 4 read | 7 to read

In "The Grave Tattoo," suspense master Val McDermid spins a psychological thriller in which a present-day murder has its roots in the eighteenth century and the mutiny on the "H.M.S. Bounty." After summer rains uncover a corpse bearing tattoos like those of eighteenth-century seafarers, many residents of the English Lake District can't help but wonder whether it's the body of one of the town's most legendary fugitives.Scholar and native Lakelander Jane Gresham feels compelled to finally discover the truth about the myths and buried secrets rooted in her hometown. What she never expected was to find herself at the heart of a 200-year-old mystery that still has the power to put lives on the line. And with each new lead she pursues, death follows hard on her heels ."

blurb

The Grave Tattoo | Val McDermid

Difficult to choose my favourite book in #August for #12Booksof2023 as I read the next books in a lot of my favourite series that all got five stars, but going for The Grave Tattoo (a non-series read). This book has everything mystery, intrigue, compassion and a theory for what happened to Fletcher Christian of Mutiny on the Bounty fame. Loved both the past and modern time line and strongly recommend this, which I couldn‘t put down.

Andrew65 Think August was my best reading month of the year, and also notable mentions for An Evil Mind and Hunting Evil by Chris Carter, Lustrum by Robert Harris (book 2 in the Cicero trilogy), The Whisper of Sorrows and The Big Man Upstairs by JD Kirk, and The Wrexham Killings by Simon McCleave.

Also Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel.

All highly recommended. 11mo

Don't know where to begin with Val McDermid, but this seems like as good a place to start as any! http://mashable.com/2016/08/17/scottish-writer-sexist-troll-shut-down/
