A team of police detectives investigate the murder of man with a complicated family history in the English countryside.
When the body of a man killed by a point blank shot to the head is found in Crooked Man Woods, it appears to be a suicide. But when Inspector Jess Campbell and Superintendent Ian Carter begin to investigate, it soon becomes clear that not all is as it seems.
The victim, Carl Finch, had been causing quite a stir in the small-town community. With rising debts and complicated relationships, the suspects are beginning to mount up . . .
Fans of Midsomer Murders, T. E. Kinsey, and M. C. Beaton will love Rooted in Evil.
Praise for the writing of Ann Granger:

“Set in the familiar more of traditional country crime stories, there is nothing old-fashioned about the characters . . . Granger is bang up to date.” —The Oxford Times
“Lovely characterisation and a neat plot.” —The Yorkshire Post
