Dancing On The Grave

In one of the most beautiful corners of England something very ugly is about to take place.

A sniper with a mission…

a young cop with nothing to lose…

a CSI with everything to prove…

a teenage girl with a terrifying obsession…

There’s a killer on the loose in the Lake District, and the calm of an English summer is shattered.

For newly qualified Crime Scene Investigator Grace McColl, it’s both the start of a nightmare and the chance to prove herself after a mistake that cost a life.

For Detective Constable Nick Weston, recently transferred from London, it’s an opportunity to recover his nerve after a disastrous undercover operation left him for dead.

And for a lonely, loveless teenage girl, Edith, it’s the start of a twisted fantasy—one she never dreamed might come true.

Formerly published as a standalone novel, this self-contained story is now the first in a three-book series. Book 2, BONES IN THE RIVER is published May 2020.

“The quality of Sharp’s writing and the frequently changing points of view, all clearly contained within separate chapters, drive the story on at a relentless pace… Dancing On The Grave is a thriller that delivers on all levels. I found it impossible to walk away until I knew the end of the story.” ~Linda Wilson, Crime Review

“This book is the perfect place to start if Ms. Sharp is a new author to you… The first chapter grabs you immediately, and you suddenly find yourself hooked.” ~Sara Weiss, Literal Addiction

"Ooooooh-eeeee! What an incredible treat it was to read this action-packed thriller! Set in Cumbria/the Lake District, the reader is taken on a whirlwind ride of retribution, fear, manipulation, vulnerability, conflict, truth, mental health issues, vengeance, lost souls and the search for the truth. I bloody LOVED it!" ~Noelle Holten, Crime Book Junkie
