Description
Penwith, the southwest tip of Cornwall, is a land of mystery and magic, of prehistoric monuments, witchcraft...and murder. When an American archaeological team stumbles upon the skeletal remains of a missing child beneath a Stone Age burial quoit, irascible CID Detective Sergeant Morgan Davies, and her Scene of Crimes partner, Calum West, unearth a growing list of suspects. Within days, another body is discovered. Is the killer the mind-reading witch—or "village wise woman" as she likes to show more be called—who has long been a suspect in the child's disappearance? Is it the drug-dealing partner of the child's heroin-addicted mother? Or is it someone even closer to the investigation? Just as Davies and West close in on their prime suspect, another child goes missing. "Harm None" is the debut novel in the new Davies & West Mystery Series and the latest from international award-winning author Will North.. show less

Good story, very interesting, if sort of strange, characters drive this book forward to a rather contrived finale. Set in Cornwall so lots of local quirks keep the tone and pace lively.

This is well written but the pace flags at places - always a risk with police procedurals. The characters saved the book but a fair amount of telling not showing the vulnerabilities of the characters decreased the good effect of interesting characters. The supernatural added interest without being intrusive.
Really enjoyed this one. A touch of the supernatural but also a good murder mystery.
In Penwith, Cornwall at a dig lead by Professor Bradley Hunter, discover a body. Unfortunately for them it is of a body only recently dead. CID Detective Sergeant Morgan Davies is sent to investigate.
An interesting story though I am not too sure about the occult aspects
