I‘ve been reading the Brock & Kolla mysteries since the first one (1994), and I‘ve waited a long time for this one. It was worth it! In this, Barry Maitland‘s 13th featuring Kathy Kolla & David Brock, Brock has retired while Kolla is now a DCI.

Throw in a questionable manuscript by George Orwell, and you‘ve got yourself a nice mystery going with plenty of intrigue to keep the reader invested. Bonus: If you‘re a student of literature, you‘ll enjoy the research work one character brings to bear on ⬇️ 4y
