Stone Certainty

Dare you enter the stone circle? The world's most unlikely ghost-busting duo-actress Diana and handsome young bishop Alistair-are back in this spine-tingling paranormal mystery from New York Times bestselling British fantasy author Simon R. Green.

There are stories about the dilapidated stone circle at Chipping Amesbury, going back centuries. Of people going missing, never to be seen again. Of people found dead inside the circle. Of monsters, and of demons.

The villagers may tell the tales with relish to visiting tourists, but a careful observer will notice that there is no transport to the stone circles, no tours on offer, and the locals stay well away.

Alistair Kincaid, the youngest-ever bishop of All Souls Hollow, is an expert in Britain's ancient stone circles. That's why, when landowner Sir Neville Chumley announces his plans to restore the circle to its ancient glory, he agrees to take part in a documentary about the project.

Well-that, plus talented actress Diana Hunt is on board. Ever since their last encounter, when the pair of them hunted ghosts and solved a murder, the tabloids have dubbed them the Holy Terrors, and Alistair can't wait see her again.

But soon after filming begins, Alistair and Diana are plunged into a terrifying mystery. For the repositioning of the final stone unleashes a series of blood-chilling events that threaten to make them both believe in demons-if, that is, they make it out of the stone circle alive.

Eerie events at a historic British stone circle could be caused by supernatural forces—or a craven criminal.

Telegenic bishop Alistair Kincaid has traveled to the small town of Chipping Amesbury to take part in a documentary about its imposing stone circle, the stuff of dark myth and legend. The presence of glamorous actress Diana Hunt, with whom the tabloids have linked Alistair ever since their unraveling of a baffling mystery inThe Holy Terrors (2024), has guaranteed his participation. Several other visitors join them, including lead presenter Stewart Munroe, fellow presenter Natalie Daye, producer Kim Locke, and local historian Elspeth Montgomery. Green’s second Holy Terrors mystery follows a classic pattern, introducing a huge cast of colorful suspects before the inevitable midpoint murder. The characters’ proximity to the stones provokes a good deal of banter and a lot of creepy stories, made even creepier by a sudden violent storm. As darkness falls, the group retires to The Other Place, formerly known as The Smugglers’ Rest. Soon after a crowd of locals descends threateningly upon them the next morning, warning them to leave, a corpse is discovered among the stones. The presence of a pitchfork marks the victim as a witch, and Elspeth eagerly spreads superstitious scenarios for the killing. Inexperienced PC John Fitzroy seems neither very interested nor very skilled. Fortunately, Alistair and Diana are both, and they eagerly investigate. Charming sleuths and bubbly dialogue add up to an appealing whodunit.

A spirited cozy with a supernatural twist.
