The Various Haunts of Men: Simon Serrailler Mysteries, cartea 1

Written with intelligence, compassion, and a knowing eye—in the tradition of the fabulous mysteries of Ruth Rendell and P.D. James—award-winning author Susan Hill’s The Various Haunts of Men is an enthralling journey into the heart of a wonderfully developed town, and into the very mind of a killer.

As the story begins, a lonely woman vanishes while out on her morning run. Then a 22-year-old girl never returns from a walk. An old man disappears too. When fresh-faced policewoman Freya Graffham is assigned to the case, she runs the risk of getting too invested—too involved—in the action. Alongside the enigmatic detective Chief Inspector Simon Serrailler, she must unravel the mystery before events turn too gruesome.

“I loved this book . . . Not all great novelists can write crime fiction, but when one like Susan Hill does it, the result is stunning.” —Ruth Rendell
