Product Description
Book Description
Five little Englishmen, feeling quite secure, one went and
lost his head, and then there were four.
lost his head, and then there were four.
When Terry Pugh's headless body is found floating in the canal, DCI Woodend
at first believes that Pugh had merely miscalculated the amount of rope he
needed to hang himself. But why would Pugh commit suicide when he had a
loving wife who was expecting their first baby, and was just about to start
an exciting new job?
Other disturbing questions soon follow in the first body's wake. Who was
the mysterious stranger Pugh was seen with, just before he died? What is
the connection between him and the down-and-out who suffers a similar fate
to his only twenty-four hours later? And how many more men are intended to
die?
As the investigation proceeds, Woodend and his team come to realize that
the key to solving the crimes is hidden in the past - and on an island far,
far away.

Format:Hardcover
Once again Sally Spencer has broadened the canvas of DCI Woodend's sphere of operation away from Whitebridge. Although in "Dangerous Games" it is not Woodend himself which makes the journey. This is an interesting and engaging police procedural which evokes memories of the past. Those who think logically, rather than just following the clues, might uncover the truth a little earlier that Woodend, but then the reader has the benefit of italicised flash backs which are denied to Woodend's team. The dateline of "Dangerous Games" is creeping ever closer to the contemporary; at this rate DCI Woodend will soon be retiring. I hope Ms Spencer can discover some interesting cases from the past which hitherto have lain unreported; it would be a great sadness to lose this genial detective to his allotment. "Dangerous Games" is recommended reading.
Format:Paperback
Having recently discovered Sally Spencer's Chief Inspector Woodend novels, I enjoyed this one so much that I wanted more in the series. I was disappointed, therefore, that Amazon lacked these and that I had to search second hand books websites for them.
