Review by Paul Norman in Books Monthly UK

I previously reviewed Julie's book DEVIL'S REALM a couple of years ago, something she remembered and graciously sent me a copy of her latest title, CONSPIRACY OF SOULS from "down under". This is Julie's third "Moorland Forensics" novel, featuring siblings James, Fiona and Katie Sinclair as they assist the police with a, particularly gruesome murder in the southwest of England. Forensics as the "detectives" isn't new in British Crime Fiction, we have Val McDermid's Doctor Tony Hill, of course, but I especially like the fact that the three siblings have all followed the same career path and have set up their own company which enables them to participate in complex and puzzling murder investigations. This is very well written, with realistic dialogue and excellent set pieces, and the reference to a wartime incident fits in well with the historical aspects of the case. This is the second book I've read this month with strong links to the Catholic church (see my review of the latest Jane Tennison novel by Lynda La Plante). Thanks to Julie for sending me this brilliant book. You can purchase it from Amazon UK, of course.
