Wychwood Mmpb

"Journalist Elspeth Reeves is back in her mum's house in sleepy Oxfordshire, wondering where it all went wrong. Then a body is found in woods: a woman ritually slaughtered, with cryptic symbols surrounding her. Elspeth recognizes the symbols from a local myth of a Saxon magician who once held court in the Wychwoods. Elspeth joins her childhood friend DS Peter Shaw to investigate, and the two discover secrets harking back decades."
