Killjoy

Before Shetland and Vera, Ann Cleeves introduced readers to the clever Detective Inspector Stephen Ramsay in her first US-available series. When Gabriella, a key cast member, is discovered dead in a car trunk, Ramsay and Sergeant Hunter investigate her murder amid escalating violence at the Starling Farm Estate. As a second body emerges, the detectives work to uncover the connection between the crimes, uncovering motives that could explain the deadly events.
