Holy Blood: A page-turning time slip thriller (The Eden Grey Mystery series Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Kim Fleet (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 221 ratings
Eden returns in a thrilling time slip mystery! Perfect for fans of Kate Morton, Dan Brown, Kate Mosse and Tom Harper.

Digging up the past has deadly consequences…

16th Century England

Dark secrets surround Hailes Abbey – a medieval monastery with a shrine supposedly containing the blood of Christ.

When one of the priests is suspected of hatching a deadly plot against Queen Elizabeth I, a contract killer is sent to the Abbey.

But more than one person has a motive for murder…

Cheltenham, 2015

500 years later, Private Investigator Eden Grey stumbles upon a medieval skeleton when exploring Hailes Abbey with her boyfriend, archaeologist Aidan Fox.

Next to the corpse is an ancient relic – a relic that could contain legendary ‘Holy Blood’ – an artifact that some people believe to have miraculous powers.

But when the relic goes missing and another violent death occurs, Eden must connect the secrets of the past to the crimes of the present…

HOLY BLOOD is the second book in the Eden Grey Mystery Series, dual timeline conspiracy thrillers with a strong female lead.

‘a fast-moving thriller with a gallery of colourful suspects. You will never think of Cheltenham in the same way again’ – Historical Novel Society

‘Richly atmospheric with vividly drawn characters … a clever page-turner’ – Eve Seymour, author of the Kim Slade novels

    I find the concept of writing a story within a story very interesting. Have the story take place in modern times and not just a few lines about the history, but factually including the history as part of the story, adds much to the experience. I'm looking forward to book three.

    If you like strong, clever female protagonists, this book is for you. Eden, a former undercover agent, is that and more. The plot was complex with believable characters, and the historical details seem well researched. I enjoyed the time travel to the middle ages.

    I thought time slip meant traveling through time...but in this book it helps you understand where or how things came into being. The back history comes to life.

    A modern mystery with some historical background added to flesh it out. Main characters and secondary characters from the first novel all return with a few new faces for the new mystery, and a longer running story continues to build, which I expect will come to a head soon. Onto book three.

    An intense blend of present day intrigue driven by intrigue from historical times. Eden Grey leads the reader on a mental exercise of unravelling the murder of the thief of the ‘Holy Blood’. The story behind the relic is as compelling as the mystery she is involved in The reader can look forward to a well written tale , both past and present , one that will keep them fascinated right to the final page!

    Good mystery, keeps you guessing until the end. Love the historical element to the modern plot, it adds an extra dimension to the story. Plus the steadily building tension between Eden and Hammond adds an element of frisson to the tale. Roll on book number three in the series.
