More Deaths for Sergeant Cluff

Sergeant Cluff #4

by Gil North

To anyone but Sergeant Cluff the burglary of a grocer's shop in Gunnarshaw would have seemed straightforward enough; but Cluff uncovers behind it one of the most brutal crimes he has faced, when a boy, looking for frogspawn by the river, finds a dismembered arm in an old rubbish tip.

Reviews

[James Fountain · Rating 4 out of 5]

More complex than the first three and the longest at 205 pages - but it’s North’s gorgeous depiction of landscape and the local Yorkshire Dales people which is most striking once more - and the marvelous creation of Sergeant Cluff and his loyal Dales sheepdog, Clive. Wonderful.
