Ten standalone mysteries. One haunting conspiracy.
Welcome to Ravenfield, a quiet Yorkshire town surrounded by endless moorland. To
outsiders, it is peaceful. To those who live there, it is haunted by secrets.
Rachel Cooper, a young police officer, arrives determined to solve her father’s unsolved murder — even if it costs her career. Her only lead points to Ravenfield, but what she finds is far stranger than she imagined.
Paranormal investigator Chris Silversmith has spent his life studying the town’s unexplained phenomena, and he believes those mysteries are tied to Rachel’s father’s death.
Together with Rachel’s sceptical partner, Chris’s loyal friend, and a woman who can speak to the dead, they form an unlikely alliance to uncover Ravenfield’s truth. But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous their search becomes.
Watching from the shadows is The Management — a clandestine group determined to keep Ravenfield’s secrets buried forever.
Told across ten chilling episodes, each a standalone mystery yet bound together by a dark overarching conspiracy, Book One of The Ravenfield Chronicles launches a gripping saga of murder, mystery, and supernatural horror — where uncovering the truth may cost more than your life.

My thoughts: This was an enjoyable blend of paranormal mystery and police procedural crime novel. When officer Rachel Cooper arrives in town, hoping to unravel the mysteries surrounding her father’s death, she ends up clashing with DI Armstrong, a man with a lot of secrets.
As she carries out her job, she encounters Chris Silversmith, University lecturer and paranormal investigator with his sidekick Alexis. They join forces after discovering that a series of deaths have a definite touch of the supernatural, despite the DI dismissing them as accidents or suicides.
Each of the cases builds up the conspiracy, the hidden secrets of Ravenfield slowly coming to light through the diligent and sometimes dangerous investigating of Rachel, Chris and their friends. What is really going on in this small Yorkshire town and why can’t anyone remember what they’ve seen?
Clever, entertaining and mysterious. You’ll want to know the secrets of Ravenfield too.
