Death in Small Measures

by Gerald Hansen

It was one drink too many for 72-year old Evelyn Guilfoyle, found dead the morning after a raucous party in the family’s back garden pub. Somebody had poisoned her sherry. But the woman had a terminal illness and would be have been dead within the year anyway. Why the hurry…?
Family, neighbors and friends had crammed into the pub that night. It’s up to DI Liam McLaughlin and his ragtag team from the Serious Crimes Branch to truffle out the audacious killer from a veritable plethora of suspects. Could this be a case they’ll never solve?
The second in the Derry Murder Mysteries, Death in Small Measures is another gripping, gritty mystery thriller with jaw-dropping twists and a touch of Gerald Hansen’s signature dark humor.

This was the first book by Gerald Hansen I have read and I enjoyed it very much. The story moved quickly. All the characters were consistently drawn in description and speech. The conclusion was satisfactory. I am looking forward to more stories.

Liked the second in the series better than the first but that could just be me getting used to the author's writing style and the Derry speak but. Both stories have intricate plots with well fleshed out characters and a good mystery.

Although based around a serious matter this book was filled with humour and it balanced it out really well. This book was good and it enjoyed it.

Death in Small Measures

This either is new to me. The story had interesting subjects woven in to it. I like story lines that I can try to think through what will happen.
