eight years previous. When his old friend DCI Colin Hargreaves reaches out following the discovery of two boys pulled from a boating lake, Lenny teams up with the detective to track down the killer. Together, they uncover something far more sinister than they could ever have imagined. Love looms for both Lenny and the ever-changing Harper, who seeks a new beginning and redemption for his past crimes. With another young boy missing and events spiralling out of control, time is running out for everybody involved as Elaine, Harper, Lenny and Tom form an unlikely alliance to stop the depraved child killer. And what is in the small wooden box? Godless Creatures is the stand-alone sequel to The Mother of all Things. A page-turner equal to the first book with surprises galore. If you enjoy books by the likes of Stephen King, Ruth Ware, Megan Abbott, Dean Koontz, Mark Edwards, Jeffery Deaver and Peter James, then you are in for a super treat.
