This is the newest in the Sloan and Crosby mystery series, DCI Sloan and Constable Crosby, that is, the quaint English combination resembling Abbott and Costello with an accent. A couple of seemingly unrelated deaths, one of natural causes, the other perhaps murder, set off a police procedural in which a series of unconnected events and circumstances seem to make no sense.
Written in a style that befits the English countryside, the dialog is of a unique tone. The plot moves forward without a hint to the reader as to the conclusion, which, may or may not be a good thing. But it is a light and enjoyable read, and it is recommended.
