One Dark Thought: A Police Procedural Thriller (The Chichester Crime Mysteries Book 4)

Human remains are discovered beneath an abandoned quarry track hidden under a country road, concealing a secret from a decade earlier. The find draws DCI Beniamin Dinescu into an investigation shaped by jealousy, obsession, and long-buried lies. A second discovery emerges from a derelict house, revealing a crime more intricate than initially apparent. Two separate findings raise a central question: what connects them? Solving the mystery requires examining a fractured family's past, where both love and betrayal serve as potential motives for murder. Dinescu, Summers, and their team return in this British police procedural set in Chichester and its surrounding villages. The investigation uncovers secrets that may have been better left undisturbed.
