Summary

Consumed is a slick, smart, and stylish thriller by Greg Buchanan that shocks as much as it captivates. On a lonely farmstead, a 70-year-old photographer named Sophia Bertilak dies mysteriously after falling outside, only to be found consumed overnight by her pigs. Strangely, all her photographs have been removed from their frames, erasing her past except for one haunting image: a photo of a missing girl who was never found. Forensic veterinarian Cooper Allen is brought in for the post-mortem and becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about Sophia, her family, and the dark secrets that have festered for decades. As Cooper unravels this web of deception and lies, she finds herself confronting more than just the case.

Description

A slick, smart, stylish - and shocking - thriller from one of the most exciting new voices in crime fiction.

On a lonely farmstead, a 70-year-old woman falls down outside and, unable to move, is consumed overnight by two of her pigs.

It seems like a tragic accident, except the woman was well-known photographer Sophia Bertilak - and inside her house, someone has removed all her photos from their frames, seemingly erasing her past...

The first photo Sophia ever took remains her most infamous: a missing girl who was never seen again. Forensic veterinarian Cooper Allen is drafted in for the post-mortem - and slowly becomes obsessed with the victim, her family, and the crimes she brought to light decades ago.

As Cooper pulls on a dark thread of deception, secrets and lies, she begins to unravel the case - as well as herself...
