Master of the Moor

by Ruth Rendell

Stephen Whalby loves to walk the moor. It is a dark and forbidding place, but it is his.

When the body of a young blonde woman is found there, her face horrifically disfigured, the victim of a merciless murderer, his beloved moor is tainted with suspicion and terror.

Then a second woman goes missing on the moor and Stephen watches as the search party make their way across the treacherous murder scene. Not to be usurped by a killer or a victim; he, and only he, is the master of the moor.

Reviews

[Cameron Trost]

Psychology, adventure, mystery, and suspense on a moor. But if that's not enough, Rendell throws a twist and a surprise into the mix to really take you on a ride, or hike as the case is here.
