Ritual Demise by Sally Rigby
Someone is watching…. No one is safe.
The once tranquil woods in a picturesque part of Lenchesterhave become the bloody stage to a series of ritualistic murders. With no suspects, Detective Chief Inspector Whitney Walker is once again forced to call on the services of forensic psychologist Dr Georgina Cavendish.But this murderer isn't like any they've faced before. The murders are highly elaborate, but different in their own way, and with the clock ticking, they need to get inside the killer's head before it's too late.
For fans of Rachel Abbott, Angela Marsons and L J Ross, Ritual Demise is the seventh book in the Cavendish & Walker crime fiction series.

Review
I loved catching up with Cavendish and Walker in this new book in the series! This is book seven in the series but you can totally pick up this book and enjoy it as it’s a great standalone. ‘Ritual Demise’ was enthralling, with a great unique plot and twist on the serial killer. Basically, this series is an excellent police procedural which I am going to be reading every release from now on.
The deaths were very novel in this narrative. Different every time but the body placed in the same way and placed in the same place every time! Seriously, put a flaming uniform presence on that spot. But that the only quibble I have with the police procedures I can’t complain. Also, it wouldn’t have led to such a good story. I really loved the path that this story led you down with the clues, as I loved all the cultural and historical references. I also really enjoyed the separate story of Cavendish’a family drama.
Cavendish as a character intrigues me more out of the two. I think she is very harsh on herself and closed off. But, it great to see her opening up more to Walker. Walker’s personal story in this book as well was a turn up for the books. I can’t wait to see how this develops into the next book!
This is now a series that I love and will always try to follow from now on! Sally Rigby has made me a convert - I hope you give it a try!
