Murder in Store

by Reginald L. Gray

Detective inspector Harty and his partner, detective sergeant Tully, investigate their second major case together in the fictional English rural area of West Town. The murders of shop staff at the local supermarket, with no obvious motive and too few clues, give considerable cause for concern not least because of the short time between killings. The police are very aware that answers must be found quickly but are hampered by the lack of evidence and too many suspects. After several false trails and conflicting reports a piece of unexpected information eventually puts the two detectives on the path to the solution.

I actually disagree with the other reviewer who says they don't like the cover. I thought is was perfectly in keeping with the storyline and captured a real sense of what the plot was about.
I loved the characters and got a real feeling for what they were about and what motivated them which I think is very important if you are writing a series of books.
The plot is well conceived and the writing was on the button for me, it was very enjoyable and made a wet weekend a lot brighter.

I have to say I don't go a lot on this cover, but the story is very good. It is a real solid murder mystery that has a clever plot and lifelike characters. I also thought it works particularly well using a more provincial setting as it allows much more character development. I think this will go down very well with British readers in particular.
