4.0 out of 5 stars Setting Hare's Running, 20 Dec 2008
By Mr. R. J. Clark "richardjclark" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Tenant for Death (Paperback)
Tenant for Death was the first crime novel published by Hare, and it is now reissued in this Faber Finds series.

It's an all too familiar (these days) tale of a City financier, whose crooked schemes (using a group of companies to move assets around, disguising the underlying paucity of valuable assets) finally attract the wrong sort of attention - and he flits to avoid his creditors.

However, he doesn't seem to have gone far or fast enough, as his body is found strangled next day in the home of a mysterious 'Mr James' - who has now seemingly vanished. The mix of suspects includes the victim's wife, his mistress, her husband, the estate agent who let the house, a fellow board member, and a recently freed partner in one of Ballantine's previous scams.

Cyril Hare's detections are competent, but the great attraction is the writing; all the novels show a polished and urbane wit that makes them a delight.
