His Burial Too
His Burial Too | Catherine Aird
5 posts | 3 read
Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan puzzles over an industrialist crushed under the rubble of a church tower in this crime novel by a CWA Diamond Dagger winner. On the hottest day in living memory, Richard Mallory Tindall, the owner of a patent firm, does not return home to Cleete village. When a man is found crushed to death, Tindalls case goes from missing person to homicide. In the course of solving murder cases, Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan has seen all manner of ugly death. But theres something particularly gruesome about this one, the body crushed beneath the marble and iron of an old Saxon church tower. With rubble blocking off access to the crime scene, no one can get close enough to inspect the body. What little evidence is availablea burned match, a black thread, an earringdoesnt bode well for a quick and easy solution. Even the legendarily cool-headed great detective might begin to crack when a second body turns up. And then an important file goes missing from Sloans office. How does it all connect?

The story was interesting, maybe it was the writing style, maybe the fact that's its an ebook (not my favorite format), maybe it's me .....but I couldn't focus. It is a short book, but has taken me more than a week to get half way through. Time to move on. (You know it's the right decision when you feel a sense of relief when you put the book aside for good😉)

Make a great day everyone😊

WJCintron Awesome!! 🙌
Lately I've been on a reading slump. 😫 I don't know why! I haven't read in 2 weeks!! Maybe it's because I'm doing too many things at the same time. 😰

My last couple weeks of reading brought me back to the Calleshire Chronicles and Inspector Sloan. Clever sealed room mystery with a host of suspects. Got lucky and enjoyed all the books I read. Plan to continue this series for sure.
