St Mary’s Church

St Mary's Church, South Dalton

Church that is the location of the kidnap of Reuben Hollow.

Built during the 1860s by Sir John Hotham, 2nd Baronet, this church was built to replace an earlier one on the same site, which by that time fallen into disrepair. The church’s spire was raised to over 200 feet and forms a prominent landmark across the Yorkshire Wolds.

 

“It’s a gorgeous place, despite the gathering darkness and the weather. It’s as English as she can imagine; all red-brick and bunting, parish council meetings and hump-backed bridges.”Dead Pretty

DEAD PRETTY

Hannah Kelly has been missing for nine months.

Ava Delaney has been dead for five days.

DS Aector McAvoy won’t let either of them go until justice can be done. But some people have their own ideas of what justice means . . .

Dead Pretty takes readers deep into a crime investigation, as McAvoy struggles with a case that’s leading nowhere, and the thorny issues of what right and wrong means when it comes to taking lives and saving them.

‘Breathtaking. Mark writes badness beautifully.’
