The Dolls at Heron’s Reach: A 1930s Northminster Mystery (The Northminster Mysteries)

In August 1935, a shocking discovery is made at a secluded country house in the north of England: a horrific double murder has been committed in bizarre circumstances.
Detective Chief Inspector Will Fairfax has recently transferred from Scotland Yard to the Northminster Constabulary, but even before the removal men have arrived with his furniture, he is confronted with one of the most disturbing cases of his professional life.
Young medic Dr Magnus McQuarrie is at a crossroads in his career when he is called to the scene of this dark mystery, and he soon finds himself caught up in a tangled investigation.
The hunt for the perpetrators of this brutal crime reveals further strange evidence, and the solution seems ever more elusive.
For Will Fairfax, the challenge set by the fate of the victims cannot be ignored and he will do everything he can to see justice done.
However, for Magnus McQuarrie, the pull of other worlds, particularly his personal life, leads to dangerously conflicting loyalties.
From the author of the acclaimed Northminster Mysteries, The Dolls at Heron’s Reach is an enthralling mystery set in Northminster before the Second World War.
