Product Description
Synopsis
The discovery of Bradley Pine's body in a lay-by off a busy road clearly signals the end of his bid to win the local bye-election. But what is even clearer - from the state in which the corpse is found - is that this is no ordinary murder. Why would the killer run the risk of dumping the body in such a public place, DCI Charlie Woodend asks himself? And, even more significantly, why should he - post mortem - decide not only to reduce his victim's mouth to a pulp but also to partly disembowel him? With the election looming - and Chief Constable Marlowe (Woodend's old enemy) taking over Pine's place as candidate - the pressure is on to come up with a result. Any result! But the more Woodend learns of the case, the more he comes to believe that not only is the motive behind the murder at least as bizarre the crime itself, but that the origins of the crime lie in a mountain-climbing tragedy which occurred three years earlier.

Published in 2006 but set in the days before detective story writers had to take account of mobile phones, this is a good old fashioned detective mystery. Main man on the police team is DCI Charlie Woodend - his well-drawn team (consisting of Sergeant Monika Paniatowski, Sergeant Dix, Constable Colin Beresford and DI Bob Rutter) all jump on board when local figure and aspiring politician, Bradley Pine, is found murdered and horribly mutiliated in a lay-by.
The perpetrator is perhaps sign-posted in rather large letters half-way through the book but this is an appealling who-dunnit and worth a read.

Sally Spencer is always an excellent read. Her books capture you and keep you enthralled. Sins of The Fathers is no exeption. I highly recommend this book to one and all.
