Özet

From the number-one best-selling author of The Ashes of London and The Fire Court, this is the sixth instalment in the acclaimed Lydmouth series.

When the body of Rufus Moorcroft, a middle-aged widower with a distinguished war record, is found in his summerhouse, the verdict is suicide. But both reporter Jill Francis and her lover, Detective Richard Thornhill, approaching the case from different angles, discover there's more to it than that.

The key to the mystery stretches back to a highly charged summer before the war and to another death. A local asylum plays a part, as do a moderately famous artist and his wife; Superintendent Williamson, now retired and loathing it; Councillor Bernie Broadbent, a man with more pies than fingers to put in them; a Cambridge don; an aristocratic unmarried mother, now gleefully drawing her old-age pension; and - to Thornhill's surprise and growing horror - his own wife, Edith.

"Andrew Taylor is a master story-teller." (Daily Telegraph)

"An excellent writer. He plots with care and intelligence and the solution to the mystery is satisfyingly chilling." (The Times)

"There is no denying Taylor's talent, his prose exudes a quality uncommon among his contemporaries." (Time Out)

I liked this quite a lot but would have preferred a bit more grit. It's almost as if he put himself into the mindset of the era and reined in the nastiness. Good story though, and well told.

Quite cosy for Mr Taylor

I enjoyed the book but was a little longer than necessary to feel like it lost a little steam 3/4's of the way through. As if the writer wasn't sure how to finish or where it was going. It picked up again to a strong finish.
Only other slight was Edith, the female main was a little tedious in her patheticness which I know was meant to be in fitting with the era, but she had two men to choose for her affections and it was a struggle to see how either were interested in her.

Good but a little longer than necessary

I really enjoy the 50s setting of this story. Attitudes towards ‘immoral’ behaviour such as children outside marriage and homosexuality are the basis of the plot here. The author makes a credible story woven with these ideas and intriguing mystery about whodunnit. Would people then commit suicide rather than face shame?

Another period peace

…including ending on a real cliff-hanger. Will definitely listen to the next one in series.

Twists and turns…..
