Review: One Last Prayer For The Rays, by Wes Markin

DCI Michael Yorke faces his most harrowing case yet.

When 12-year-old Paul disappears from school, Yorke’s only clue is a pool of animal blood. Fearing the worst, he turns toward the most obvious suspect, recently released local murderer, Thomas Ray.

But as the snow in Salisbury worsens, Ray’s mutilated body is discovered, and Yorke is left with no choice but to journey into the sinister heart of a demented family that has plagued the community for generations. Can he save the boy? Or will the evil he discovers changes him forever?

One Last Prayer for the Rays introducing DCI Michael Yorke.

My Review

Thanks to Rachel for organising the tour and for sending me a copy of this book.

I’m not in a great place mentally so I’ve done my best, but I’m really not up to writing a long review.

Gripping mystery from the start, with an interesting set of characters and evocative description.

      Thanks James, depression is a bitch but I’ve survived it before. It’s getting to the other side that’s the struggle.
