The Craftsman by Sharon Bolton
4.0
1969
Larry Glassbrook, a coffin maker and funeral director, is arrested and sent to prison for kidnapping and burying alive of 3 teenagers. Along with the bodies they also find clay effigies resembling the victims, pierced disturbingly like voodoo dolls.
Not only is the evidence against Larry solid, he also confesses to the murders.
Case closed!
1999
Florence Lovelady, one of the investigators at the time, whose diligent work leads to Larry’s arrest, returns to the town in which the crimes were committed, to attend Larry’s funeral.
But what she finds is more than closure. Out of curiosity, she heads towards Larry’s abandoned house, where she discovers a recently made effigy, bearing a resemblance to herself.
Did Larry have an accomplice or was he innocent? If so, why did he confess to these heinous and senseless crimes?
The Craftsman is yet another unique and unnerving story from Sharon Bolton. An exceptional mystery, which when unravelled, would chill your bones and unsettle your mind!
