´Darkly gothic and brilliantly original, THE CRAFTSMAN will have you spellbound.´ - JP Delaney

Devoted father or merciless killer?
His secrets are buried with him.
Florence Lovelady´s career was made when she convicted coffin-maker Larry Glassbrook of a series of child murders 30 years ago. Like something from our worst nightmares the victims were buried...ALIVE.
Larry confessed to the crimes; it was an open and shut case. But now he´s dead, and events from the past start to repeat themselves.
Did she get it wrong all those years ago?
Or is there something much darker at play?

The Craftsman is one of those rare books that hooked me on page one, and didn´t let go until the final sentence. Engaging, compulsive reading. Sharon Bolton at her best. Rachel Abbott
