With a Narrow Blade (Ulverscroft Mystery) [Large Print] [Hardcover]

Faith Martin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 2008 | Series: Ulverscroft Mystery

Will this be DI Hillary Greene's first failure on a murder case? When an elderly lady is stabbed to death in her own home, D.I. Hillary Greene is instantly puzzled. The house doesn't appear to have been robbed, Flo Jenkins herself was well-liked by her neighbours and she hadn't an enemy in the world. Also, it was widely known that she was very unwell and when the post mortem reveals that she was riddled with cancer and had only weeks, maybe even days left to live, Hillary's even more nonplussed. Why kill a dying woman? To make matters worse, her team is distracted by her sergeant, Janine Tyler's upcoming marriage to Superintendent Philip Mallow and subsequent transfer out of HQ. Then her 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, is this going to 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.
