A taut crime novel set against the atmospheric backdrop of rural England, The Anathema Stone by John Buxton Hilton follows Detective Superintendent Simon Kenworthy as he investigates a baffling case rooted in ancient local superstition. Hilton masterfully weaves together the sinister folklore of a cursed stone with modern-day murder, creating a narrative that is as intellectually compelling as it is suspenseful. Known for his meticulous plotting and richly drawn characters, Hilton presents a mystery that peels back the layers of a tight-knit community concealing dark secrets. The novel stands as a fine example of the classic British detective genre, balancing procedural rigour with a deeply evocative sense of place.
