Book Description

Publication Date: August 31, 2007 | Series: Hillary Greene Series

When an elderly woman is stabbed to death in her own home, Detective Inspector Hillary Greene is instantly puzzled. The house doesn't appear to have been robbed and Flo Jenkins herself was well-liked by her neighbors. It was also widely known that she was very unwell and when the post mortem reveals that she was riddled with cancer and had only weeks left to live, Hillary is even more nonplussed. Why kill a dying woman? To make matters worse, her team is distracted by the upcoming marriage of their sergeant, Janine Tyler, to Superintendent Philip Mallow and her subsequent transfer out of HQ. Hillary’s new DC turns out to have something of a violent temper and an uncertain past. With no forensics, no leads, and only a junkie nephew as a vague suspect, will this be Hillary Greene's first failure on a murder case?

From AudioFile

Aficionados of English cozies will enjoy this richly peopled mystery. Patience Tomlinson does outstanding portrayals of DI Hillary Green and her sergeant, Janine Tyler. But it is Tomlinson's metamorphoses into the male characters that are truly splendid. Through her choice of cadence and tone, the listener can clearly envision them all--from whiny junkie to gruff retired policeman. The mystery of the murder of a well-liked elderly woman unfolds amid multiple subplots that involve stalking and love triangles. By the end, the listener wants to hear more about DI Green and her fellow police officers. B.H.B. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
