"Pleasurable reading experience"
Although Lavenstock is a small city compared to London,
it has its share of crime, but rarely does two major
felonies happen on the same day. A house burns down to the
ground on a low rent street, but the body inside the rubble
is not the Polish man renting the abode. Deputy
Superintendent Gil Mayo assigns Abigail Moon to the case
much to the dismay of her rival and peer Martin Kite. Gil designates Martin as the lead investigator on the
other case, that of a vicar's wife Cecily Haldane, who was
knocked unconscious. Her attacker called for an
ambulance. Cecily's prognosis remains bleak. On both cases
law enforcement officials run into one dead end after
another. They don't know that the two cases are tied to
events that occurred over fifty years ago during World War
II. Any police procedural starring Gill Mayo is guaranteed to
provide a pleasurable reading experience. A SUNSET TOUCH
is one of the better works in this long running series
because of the complexity of the characterizations and the
intricacies of the two subplots. Marjorie Eccles packs a
surprising amount of fascinating detail into this superb
novel. Harriet Klausner
