Four short cases for Detective Inspector Elspeth Sanderson and her team, as within four seemingly harmless communities, deaths occur in suspicious circumstances.
A member of a creative writing group expires when an allergy is exploited; a death at a snooker club exposes strife among the committee; a holiday in the Hebrides becomes that of a busman when a local clergyman meets his maker early; then a fresh body on the golf course interferes with DS Susan Charlton’s game.
The murderers may be amateur, but they are inventive in their means and secretive in their motives. However, Sanderson is the consummate professional and cracks the cases.
Clever plotting and
sound characterisation make for a good pacy read.
