Welcome to Litsy!

This is only the 2nd book in my lifetime that I have read cover to cover in one sitting such was the enthralling way that it was written. Set in 1889 it was another of the Inspector Ravenscroft series. Dealing with child abduction, infanticide and wrongful incarceration in a lunatic asylum one would think this was a gruesome story. However it was also about love and happiness with some joyful moments. A stupendous, enjoyable police procedural*****

After joining a Library, the first time since I was a boy the book I wanted to take out on loan was the 'Droitwich Deceivers' by Kerry Tombs. There wasn't one copy stocked in any Library in the whole of Caerphilly. Filling out a book suggestion form the Library not only purchased the book but held it for me while I was overseas for a four week period. I've just picked it up this morning.

This one was a page turner for me, I finished in one day. Granted it's not very long, but I rarely do that.. There's a missing little girl, and Ravenscroft is called in to find her..was it the nanny, the disgruntled neighbor, the crazed man in the cemetery? And why is her father being such an ass?! And Ravenscroft's wife Lucy is trying to help a young lady find her baby.. Are the two cases related?
