Web of Lies,
By A Customer
This review is from: Last Seen Alive (Hardcover)
This novel takes place in a small English village. Alicia, a local girl comes back to town after being away for 20 years and is murdered less than a day later. This book has a very good plot and the characters are beliveable. It really showed the interweavings of a small town and how your past can catch up with you.

This review is from: Last Seen Alive (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the fifth adventure of Luke Thanet, a police inspector in Kent, England. When Alicia Parnell is found murdered in the town's Swan Hotel, Luke not only has a crime to solve but takes a short trip down Memory Lane. Alicia was a popular girl in Luke's youth who left Kent 20 years earlier. Now with Alicia's return and murder, Luke finds himself investigating the past, the reason for her sudden reappearance in Kent, and tracking the killer in this whodunit.
Simpson's books are classic British "cozys" - with little violence, a single case and a well developed set of characters and suspects. I find the portrayal of Thanet's domestic life a tad stilted which detracts from the mystery at times - this book's `family emergency" is drug use among his young son's peers - but overall this, and the previous books in the series, are very good British mysteries/police procedurals, and if that's your cup of tea, you won't be disappointed with this author.
