About this listen

Has the ancient Egyptian cult of immortality resurfaced in Brighton?

When a freshly mummified body is discovered at the Brighton Museum of Natural History, Detective Francis Sullivan is at a loss to identify the desiccated woman. But as Egyptian burial jars of body parts with cryptic messages attached start appearing, he realises he has a serial killer on his hands. Revenge, obsession and an ancient religion form a potent mix, unleashing a wave of terror throughout the city. Caught in a race against time while battling his own demons, Francis must fight to uncover the true identity of the Embalmer before it's too late.

Fast paced and exciting thriller based in Brighton

The third story in a trilogy from Alison Belsham (following on from The Tattoo Thief and Her Last Breath) although it stands alone too. Each of the titles are page-turners and as with the first two stories 'The Embalmer' doesn't disappoint if you are looking for a killer with a gruesome M.O. who keeps you guessing til the end. Not to mention there is another plotline that culminates in a very exciting chase on the perilous cliffs of the south coast. And it's good to see The Brighton Pavilion incorporated into the story! I read the first two titles as regular books but with this third title I purchased via and listened to it on Audible and I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. I highly recommend.
