Book Summary and Reviews of The Burial Place by Stig Abell

Media Reviews

"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)

"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

"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

Stig Abell believes that discovering a crime fiction series to enjoy is one of the great pleasures in life. His first novel, Death Under A Little Sky, introduced Jake Jackson and his attempt to get away from his former life in the beautiful area around Little Sky, followed by Death in a Lonely Place and The Burial Place. Stig is absolutely delighted that there are more on the way. Away from books, he presents the breakfast show on Times Radio, a station he helped to launch in 2020. Before that he was a regular presenter on Radio 4's Front Row and was the editor and publisher of the Times Literary Supplement. He lives in London with his wife, three children and two independent-minded cats called Boo and Ninja (his children named them, obviously).
