The Fifth Grave: A DCI Jacob Mystery by Rob JonesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
THE FIFTH GRAVE, from prolific thriller and suspense author Rob Jones, is the first in the new DCI JACOB MYSTERY series. Wiltshire England Detective Chief Inspector Tom Jacob is a marvel: maverick, rule-breaker, a strong individual broken in spirit after the tragedy a year prior. After a sterling career on the London Metropolitan Police and the Thames Valley Division at Oxford, the tragic death of his fiancee and bereavement leave, he has returned to his childhood home, the Old Watermill, on the Wiltshire Downs. A trio of metal detector explorers out in the forest on Boxing Day (December 26) uncover a skeleton beneath a beech tree's roots. It proves to be a cold case, but Jacob and his team are determined to solve it: and then the new killings commence.
Consistently taut suspense, surprises, a shocking denouement and explosive ending contribute to a riveting and thought-provoking read.
