Book Description
The 14th Wesley Peterson crime novel by Piatkus favourite Kate Ellis
--This text refers to the
Hardcover
edition.
Product Description
When Dr James Dalcott is shot dead in his cottage it looks very much like an execution. And as DI Wesley Peterson begins piecing together the victim's life, he finds that the well-liked country doctor has been harbouring strange and dramatic family secrets. Meanwhile, archaeologist Neil Watson has discovered a number of skeletons in nearby Tailors Court that bear marks of dissection and might be linked to tales of body snatching by a rogue physician in the sixteenth century. But when Neil finds the bones of a child buried with a 1930s coin, the investigation takes a sinister turn. Who were the children evacuated to Tailors Court during World War II? And where are they now? When a link is established between the wartime evacuees and Dr Dalcott's death, Wesley is faced with his most challenging case yet.

Yet again, another excellent read from Kate Ellis. I always look forward to her books, and enjoy reading the flashbacks into the past. One small gripe, I wish that Wesley's wife would get killed off! For once, I would like to read about a policeman who doesn't have a moaning whinging wife.
I didn't guess the killer, there are plenty of suspects and it keeps you wondering until the end. After reading quite a few duff books lately, it was a pleasure to read the lastest Kate Ellis. I can't wait for the next one.

The last in the current Wesley Peterson is in my opinion the best of the lot, I'm disappointed that I've read them all, so hurry up with next one please Kate Ellis!
Flesh tailor is quite creepy and with most of the others I've had an inkling of the ending but this one kept me guessing to the end.
As a lover of crime fiction and an archaeologist I was in seventh reading these books. The archaeology bit is fairly accurate and I love the characterizations of Neil, Gerry, Wesley and Pam. Though I'm finding Rachel a bit of a pain but may be that's the good writing coming through!!

This is the first book I have read by this author and found it a gripping read- could'nt put it down. The detective, DI Wesley Peterson is unusal in that he had trained as a archaeologist and this brings a historical dimension to the plot .Its a traditional detective story, intelligent, well written, and holds your interest. Centred around the mysterious killing of a country doctor Dr.Dalcott, and the discovery of some old bones during the building of a outhouse in Tailors Court, an old country house. The subsequent investigation and findings of his friend and archaeologist Neil Watson, reveal a very tangled web of historical and present day intrigue. Petersons task it to find the link and find the killer or killers and involves historical policing as well as traditional forensics.
Great tale look forward to reading more of this detective.
