Product Description
Review
In the satisfying eighth Det. Insp. Kennedy mystery, Kennedy picks up a missing person case in London s Camden Town while easing back into work following an injury sustained in 2004 s The Justice Factory. Elderly and prosperous, John Riley has simply vanished, leaving few clues. While swapping notes with Father O Connor, a priest who knows Riley s wife and is assisting the investigators, Kennedy forms a friendship with O Connor s genial friend Harry Ford. Then Ford is stabbed to death. Feeling personal loss and responsibility, Kennedy takes on the murder investigation, determined that Ford and his family will have justice. The clues are there for armchair sleuths, and the murder method one of the most bizarre ever devised. Charles adeptly fills in backstory without slowing the plot or interrupting the narrative flow. This series deserves recognition on a par with those of Inspectors Jury, Morse and Tennyson. --Publishers Weekly

What a great pleasure it is to welcome back my favourite fictional detective, Christy Kennedy, in a mystery that's well up to the standard of the other Paul Charles titles. And what a pleasure to see the books coming from a proper publishing house. Much power to the Irish elbows of Charles and Brandon.

Although Paul Charles specialises in finding new & devious murder methods the one in this book is technically unconvincing & psychologically rather flawed because the minor errors made by the killer are somewhat out of kilter with the meticulous , if ridiculous , method of murder.
The dialogue is as good as ever & that redeems the book.
