Outstanding Police Procedural

This is the latest in a series of excellent British police procedural mysteries.
The series is built around the protagonist, a female detective in a murder squad. With each book, the protagonist becomes more and more experienced and her character becomes more and more realistic.
The murders are always interesting and the solutions to the murders are always clever, with twists at the end.
Read and enjoy.

The solution to the multiple crimes were totally contrived. A complete waste of time. Almost 400 pages wasted.

An excellent view of what it must have been like to fight during the 100 years war, from the foot soldiers’ perspective. Book written by renowned historian Dan Jones!

Good murder mystery, but way too long

The book is about the death of a woman who had assumed a false identity and the undercover officer who assumes the deceased persona in an attempt to flush out the killer. When the story stays focused on the ,” who dun it,” aspects of her story, it is extremely well done. However, the book at time wonders from discovering, “who dun it,” to a discussion of the psychological idiosyncrasies of each of the characters. When the book deviates away from the central question, “who dun it,” it becomes more of a soap opera than a mystery.
I would recommend a more focused mystery by the same author entitled, “The Trespasser.” A great Irish police procedural.

This is yet another installment of a nice, cozy mystery. the narrators voice, tone, and pace truly fit the dialogue and story. the negatives are the story itself doesn’t really make sense, and the story takes too long to get to the resolution of the murder. I’ve listened to the previous books on tape in the series and quite frankly, they all were much much better than this one. Certainly read the others but skip this one.
