If there's one thing I love its a book that you can read in one sitting. What I don't like is that the book is so brilliant that I am late for a meeting because I have become so engrossed in the story! That's what happened with A SAINTLY GRAVE DISTURBED. I had an hour between meetings in work during the week and took myself off to the car to eat my lunch and read the book in peace. Cue a frantic phone call from me to apologise for being late!

A Saintly Grave Disturbed is the perfect short read crime story. In their search for 'the Angling Abbot' archeologists lead by Beth Tarrant unearth a set of bones. However, the remains are not what they seem. Understandably, Beth is upset that she has not found the mysterious Abbot and solved the mystery her grandfather gave up on himself many years previous. Why did he give up? Another mystery unfolds! When one of the volunteers on the dig is attacked, D.I Lincoln is called in to investigate further. A further series of events threaten to undermine everything Beth, and her grandfather, have worked towards. But, are they all linked and if so, how?

This book really grabs the readers attention from the very beginning and continues to pull you in the whole way through. Perfectly paced with believable, engaging characters, an exciting storyline and lots of clues dotted throughout, Nikki Copleston has written a fantastic story that both intrigued me and completely captured my imagination. Reading it was like being in a maze. Just when you thought you were going in the right direction you suddenly hit a dead end and had to rethink your way through the mystery! Love it!  If you love mystery and suspense and some great detective work well I suggest you grab yourself a copy of this book. Its right up there with my list of highly recommended reads. It simply  has everything you could ask for!
