Abell’s sterling third outing for ex-detective Jake Jackson (after Death in a Lonely Place) is a taut, atmospheric whodunit that revolves around an archaeological dig in England. . . . The setting recalls Tana French’s In the Woods, but Abell’s prose is singularly searing and evocative. This will stun series fans and newcomers alike.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Terrific characters, locations, action and suspense, all floating on an easy charm in the writing and a deep love of the genre—this series is irresistible." — Lee Child
"Blends frightening realities with lushly detailed descriptions of nature’s many wonders alongside our skinny-dipping, pot smoking sleuth." — Boston Herald
"A well-designed traditional puzzler . . . . Jake Jackson’s off-the-grid world is beautifully rendered and ambles in a leisurely way toward a solution. It’s quite a good journey." — Crime Fiction Review
"The Jake Jackson books get better and better. I loved this excursion into the distant past. Atmospheric and chilling but also humorous and always humane." — Elly Griffiths, author of The Last Remains
"The Burial Place is like a breath of fresh air and will appeal to fans of Anthony Horowitz, Laura Lippman and Lucey Foley." — The Gloss
“What a gorgeous read. It has the halo of an instant classic. This is a deep, searching novel, as preoccupied with human nature and ordinary evil as it is with detection." — A. J. Finn, #1 bestselling author of The Woman in the Window, on Death Under a Little Sky
"What a joy to spend time with these characters again! An immersive, intelligent delight with huge atmosphere and heart. My favourite new crime series." — Lucy Foley on Death in a Lonely Place
