I’ve heard so many great things about this book that I had to snag a copy for myself.
June 1969, in a small town in England, a notorious serial killer, Larry Glassbrook, is finally identified as burying his three underage victims alive. When he returns home in 1999 in his own casket, the detective who solved the crime, Florence Lovelady has attended his funeral. She had been confident for so long that she had caught the killer who had also cut off her finger but when she returns to the small town something starts to nag her about the case that changed her life. In her own way, she reopens the case to discover the missing pieces that have haunted her for decades.
The Craftsman is 416 pages long and took me three days to read.
I loved this book so much and am giving it a 4 out of 5. It is so creepy and twisty that I didn’t want it to end. I highly recommend this book to mystery/thriller fans!
Here’s to the adventure of finding a novel novel!
