About Grave Intent: A gripping and atmospheric New England crime thriller

Foul deeds lie buried under campus grounds Jericho College is closed for the summer break. But professor Carla James is busy teaching a short course to a small group of archaeology enthusiasts. Keen to get involved with local history, the newcomers become fixated on the three-hundred year old grave of Meg Woodthorpe. Killed for being a witch. A single stone sits on the burial site supposedly to prevent her rising again. And excavations reveal she may have. Meg's body is no longer there. She has been replaced by a modern victim. With no one missing, Carla must work out who this is and where Meg has gone. A dark and atmospheric crime thriller. Perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths and Kathy Reichs. Praise for Sarah Ward 'Carla James is a wonderful creation' William Shaw 'Fresh, original and utterly compelling' Marion Todd 'A gripping, atmospheric page-turner' Sheila Bugler 'Dark, engaging and beautifully written' Michael Wood 'Clever and compelling' Woman's Weekly 'Strongly atmospheric' Crime Time
