This review is from: Necrochip: Unabridged (Audio Cassette)

Solid narration by Terry Wale. He gives a good performance, especially with regard to voicing the opposite sex.

The US title of this book is Death to Go.

A body is found in plastic bin bags behind Dave's Fish and Chips. It's discovered because a school girl's 20p of chips also included a deep fried finger. Ron Savage who ran Dave's insisted that he had the only key to the place and the back door had been bolted from the inside. It seems like an open and shut case.

Meanwhile, Detective Inspector Bill Slider has a new boss-- Mad Ivan Barrington, a spit and polish policeman who replaced the late and untidy Dickson, and who finds Slider unacceptable.

Add to this the fact that Slider's violinist lover wants him to confess their relation to Slider's wife. Slider, as usual, finds that every time he screws his courage to the sticking point something happens that gives him an excuse to postpone the scene.

Wonderfully complex plot that twists and turns back on itself with each new revelation. Solid British Police Procedural with good balance of personal angst and criminal detection.
