Monument to Murder by Mari Hannah

Mari Hannah brings the landscape and coastline of Northumberland to life with all of her books but Monument to Murder is particularly apt for a walk passing the mighty ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle.

Monument to Murder takes place with this castle in the background.Most of the story unfolds on Bamburgh Beach with Dunstanburgh just down the coast. The sands here are the scene for a criminal find…

The windswept North East coastline is evoked in style and Jo, a character from the book even has a cottage in Low Newton where the walk ends up.
