When lawyer, Jenny Cooper, is appointed Severn Vale District Coroner, shes hoping for a quiet life and space to recover from a traumatic divorce, but the office she inherits from the recently deceased Harry Marshall contains neglected files hiding dark secrets, and a trail of buried evidence. Could the tragic death in custody of a young boy be linked to the apparent suicide of a teenage prostitute and the fate of Marshall himself? Jennys curiosity is aroused. In the face of powerful and sinister forces determined to keep both the truth hidden and the troublesome coroner in check, Jenny embarks on a lonely and dangerous one-woman crusade for justice which threatens not only her career but also her sanity.
The Coroner is a fantastic thriller set in the Wye Valley and Bristol area. I have also just finished The disappeared by M R Hall - his econd novel in the Jenny Cooper series. I can't wait for the next one!
