Overview
Simon Serrailler’s last case nearly killed him—and this next investigation proves to be equally treacherous
Susan Hill returns with The Comforts of Home, the ninth book in one of the most acclaimed mystery series of our time. Following his near-fatal injury dealt by his last case, Chief Superintendent Serrailler is recuperating on a remote Scottish island when the local police pull him into a murder inquiry: a newcomer has died in perplexing circumstances. Meanwhile, in Lafferton, site of his earlier mysteries, a second case arises. A woman whose daughter disappeared some years before still seeks closure. Chief Constable Kieron Bright, Serrailler’s new brother-in-law, calls him in to perform a cold case review. But when events take an unfavorable turn for the superintendent and an arsonist goes on a deadly rampage, Serrailler’s personal and professional lives intertwine in more complex and devastating ways than ever before.
