Sinopse

‘The Society of Intelligent Murderers’ is set in 1970s England and France. Detective Chief Inspector Harry Rainham is tasked with reviews of a number of suspicious deaths where relatives had appeared dissatisfied with the initial police investigation. Close to retirement and with an unwell wife at home, he forms a team with two young women detectives.  They quickly unearth three bizarre apparently unrelated cases, and as each investigation progresses, it becomes apparent that the murderers are linked by seemingly mysterious blackmail attempts. There also appears to be a link to the poem ‘The Waste Land’, and possibly to the story of ‘Rebecca’. The novel progresses through moments of danger for all involved until it climaxes with a series of alarming events.

    Tamara Tanner is a 18-year-old girl coming to age in a quaint, inconsequential town called Weepy Grotto. As it is with most habitats either renowned or forgotten, this setting harbors a legend that few have ever bothered to seriously confirm or dispel. 
     
    But everything here in Weepy Grotto is about to change. In the summer of 1985, Tamara is on the cusp of exploring her budding sexuality, along with delving into an unsavory curse of witchery and murder buried in her hometown’s past. Tamara feels the first pangs of infatuation for a young handsome man whom she obsesses over inordinately. This allurement leads her into realm of self discovery, unbridled lust, and intimate danger. 
     
    Who is Millicent Caswell, and why is Tamara intent on uncovering the cruelty she endured at the hands of her neighbors and friends so many years ago? It is a tale replete with tawdry secrets, unscrupulous lies, and seductive betrayal woven into a backdrop where all that is righteous may soon fall prey to peril. Will Tamara find the truth that may purge the evil from Weepy Grotto? Or will temptation and carnality lure her deeper into her own subconscious yearnings?
