Publisher's summary

Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan puzzles over an industrialist crushed under the rubble of a church tower in this crime novel by a CWA Diamond Dagger winner.

On the hottest day in living memory, Richard Mallory Tindall, the owner of a patent firm, does not return home to Cleete village. When a man is found crushed to death, Tindall's case goes from missing person to homicide.

In the course of solving murder cases, Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan has seen all manner of ugly death. But there's something particularly gruesome about this one, the body crushed beneath the marble and iron of an old Saxon church tower. With rubble blocking off access to the crime scene, no one can get close enough to inspect the body. What little evidence is available - a burned match, a black thread, an earring - doesn't bode well for a quick and easy solution.

Even the legendarily cool-headed great detective might begin to crack when a second body turns up. And then an important file goes missing from Sloan's office. How does it all connect?

Love—keep reading even when I don’t understand

These books are so good that I read them over and over, even when I know I’m missing parts of the mystery, solutions, or stories. This author is that good. And, eventually, I hear the word or sentence I missed the first (or third, or fourth lol) time and can then grasp the boom as a whole.

Derek Perkins is close enough to me that I don’t feel like the characters are all new, or being voiced incorrectly. At first I hadn’t even realized the narrator was different from the previous book!

Three more books in this series is my Christmas present from my son to me. :)

interesting but a bit gory

I like the puzzle part of this story, but not the gory details of crime scenes and stuff. I really liked the last book I read by Ms Aird. I will try another one, especially since thus one was free.

Good yarn, prefer the other narrator

I enjoyed this story. Not too many cozy mysteries have as much corporate espionage and physics as this one! Only downside is that I don’t like Derek Perkins’s narration as much as that of Robin Bailey, the narrator of some of the other books in the series. There’s nothing wrong with Perkins’s narration, but Bailey has a low, delightfully sardonic voice (a little like the voice of the late, lamented David Case) that in my opinion works better for the sly tone of the series.

His burial too

This audio book was entertaining. I had to pop in and out of the story because I had a lot of interruptions with phone calls and taking care of overheated animals, but the story was good and I was able to follow the detectives pretty well.
