This was the second in the series of police procedural set in the Derbyshire peak district.
In book 1 we were introduced to two detective constables Ben Cooper and Diane fry. Cooper on the promotion path as the local son of a police hero is faced with competition in fry an outsider efficient but cold.
This book sees them investigating the murder of two women on the hills and one within the standing stones of the title.
A well plotted story but the best part of the book is the picture drawn of the two characters, the tension suggests that reading on will be worthwhile, although I suspect that at over 500 pages it could have lost a good chunk without spoiling the story.
