4.0 out of 5 stars Whodunit? Nope - more of a Whoisit!?, October 25, 2000
By Eileen E. Gormly (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Life, for Henrietta Jenks, had always been a quiet, well-ordered affair. But just before her 21st birthday, her mother is struck by a hit and run driver, and Henrietta discovers she's not who she thought she was.

This is the third in Aird's series of excellently well-written, police-procedural-types of classic British mystery with the team of Detective-Inspector Sloan (methodical, persistent, an all-around "good copper") and Detective-Constable Crosby (young, brash and a bit dim).

The best about Aird's books is that she actually gives you the clues (in the best tradition) cleverly hidden in the dialog and descriptions, so that if you pay close attention, you have a good chance of figuring things out. I wish more of her books were in print. Not as depressing as Martha Grimes or Elizabeth George, but equally interesting, and her detecting team manage to be amusing while still "real" people.

4.0 out of 5 stars A classic who-dun-it that's well worth reading., August 15, 2003
By C. I. Black (Rayleigh, Essex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Like other reviewers I really enjoyed this book. It's probably Catherine Aird's best.

Grace Jenkins is knocked down by a car and killed, which leaves her 20-year-old daughter Henrietta alone in the world. Bewildered Henrietta is then told that on the basis of the autopsy examination Grace Jenkins couldn't possibly be her mother- she had never had any children.

Meanwhile,in one of the best scenes of the book, the police are examining the scene of the traffic "accident", and coming to the grim conclusion that it was a case of murder by motor car.

The police have to solve a murder, and Henrietta has to find her true identity. The book is a comfortable read without being too soft-headed, and the dialogue is first-rate. The book is fairly short- there is no unnecessary padding. If you like English village who-dun-its you won't be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Murder Tale!, July 21, 2003
Ms. Aird writes a detective story in the truly classic way. Her plots are tight and there are just enough red herrings to make it interesting. This book is no exception. Poor Henrietta Jenkins loses her mother in a hit-and-run accident and then discovers that she's not Henrietta Jenkins at all, and the woman that she knew as her mother could not possibly have been. So who is she and who were her parents? The hit-and-run turns out to be murder and DI Slonae is called in to investigate. He's got a real puzzler on his hands with this one because no one is who they seem. An excellent little who-dun-it that is truly fun to read.
