Summary

One February evening in northern England, a young woman is shot in the head and left in a coma. Eight months later she dies, thus becoming a welcome excuse to dispatch the odious Inspector Dover as far as possible from London. It soon appears that Isobel Slatcher could have been smothered in her hospital bed with a pillow. Now Dover may have two murderers to catch: one who pulled the trigger, the other the last visitor she had in her short lifetime. If, that is, the town’s warring Catholics and Protestants will only stop distracting him.

Critic reviews

“Meet Detective Chief Inspector Wilfred Dover. He’s fat, lazy, a scrounger and the worst detective at Scotland Yard. But you will love him.” (Manchester Evening News)

I want more!

There are only two books recorded so far. I really hope the rest are recorded, because I will not hesitate to buy them.

The narrator is very good and managed the different voices very well. He got Dover off to a tee.

The story is well written, funny, and never flags, with a rich variety of characters, the foremost being Dover and his long suffering detective sergeant trainee.

I didn't work out the plot before the reveal, and maybe you won't either!
