The Hawksbridge Worm (The Thomas Rufford Mysteries Book 4) Kindle Edition

by Julian Smart (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 55 ratings

When Thomas’ friend Francesca makes an unusual purchase and writes a play about a mythical beast, innocent theatrics turn lethal. Thomas and his wife Phyllis discover a young woman’s body in a stone circle – is there a mystical explanation, or an all too rational one?

A tragedy from the previous century also demands his attention. The deaths of three former residents of Hawksbridge are linked to Francesca’s new business, and these ghosts must be laid to rest. Along the way, Thomas must solve the riddles of a love-lorn rector, a notorious poet, and a fateful ruby.

Meanwhile, spectres from Thomas’ own past return to threaten his marriage and his future, after the unwelcome appearance of an old acquaintance and his sister.

The fourth in the Thomas Rufford Mysteries, The Hawksbridge Worm follows Thomas and those around him as they face threats to their own happiness – and deadly drama.

    I've been waiting months for this latest installment in the Hawksbridge series. I love the characters, love how the author has captured the period, and revel in the twists and turns taken by the plots of his books. I can only hope there will be many additions to this series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Mysteries. Characters. Places and more! As good as it gets!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023
    I happily encourage anyone liking Mystery series set in the 1800s to read this author.
    I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of these books. They are for mature readers and not childish at all.
