Wes Markin delivers a gripping and tense police procedural in The Crying Cave Killings, the third instalment of his Yorkshire Murders series. DI Paul Riddick finds himself suspended after being found beside a murdered child—with eerie parallels to a case from his past. The narrative masterfully flips between present investigation and haunting backstory, creating a page-turner filled with moral ambiguity and rising suspense
The novel excels in character depth—Riddick is brooding and haunted, his instincts both a gift and a curse; DCI Emma Gardner is a compelling foil, determined to clear his name and keep the case on track. The Yorkshire setting, especially the atmospheric Mother Shipton’s Cave, adds vivid tension and a haunting sense of place
The Crying Cave Killings offers a dark, emotional ride with unexpected twists and a haunting conclusion that’ll linger. A must-read for fans of gritty, character-driven crime fiction.
