A man’s body is found in a Kentish hop field, his brutal death marked by horrific
injuries.
As Detective Kay Hunter begins to investigate, the case quickly reveals itself to be anything but routine. The local farming community is tight-lipped, the victim’s background is unclear, and the evidence uncovers a trail of conflicting stories and long-held secrets.
With the media and her superior officers demanding answers, Kay must navigate the lies and unravel the truth to solve one of the most complex murder investigations of her career.
In a landscape shaped by tradition and silence, some secrets are buried for a
reason.
What Evil Hides is the fifteenth book in the bestselling Detective Kay Hunter series,
and perfect for readers who love twisty murder mysteries.

My thoughts: Some farm workers harvesting hops discover a murdered man, his body cruelly disfigured amongst the bines. The police can’t work it out, it looks like it might be ritualistic, but there hasn’t been anything else locally.
As they investigate both the farm where the body was found and the deceased’s life, they’re left with more questions than answers. There are traces of three suspects, and the farm has a few disgruntled former employees. Was the victim chosen intentionally or at random? Is the farm being attacked or something else? An area of poisoned crops raises more questions.
Can the team solve it before headquarters passes it over to another DI to try to unravel the answers?
Another clever and interesting case from Rachel Amphlett, one of the best crime writers around.
