A Calculated Risk

Mr. Potter #11

by Rae Foley

Experienced officer Detective Superintendent Chard was not unduly disturbed when called to head the enquiry into the death of a man who had seemingly been bludgeoned to death. But could it all have been a set up? The sudden death of a man who leaves a small fortune to a missing girl, and the indication of corruption in high places leads to the involvement of C.I.D. from a neighbouringcounty, and Chief Superintendent Stockton is left to try and figure out a solution.

Did you know the gender of this book? Potter has been in these case predicaments before – seen as Moss sighted – the car Mrs. Harding drove with her uncle was demolished. This car blew up, and it caught fire. That he had read about the case, at least, some of the cases if not to what to allude about. She flew from it once she collided – a precaution, she must have feared. But Mr. Harding was left in the passenger’s side, and burned to death. The police suspected foul play – but there would be evidence of tampering – which must come from proof and evidence. Yet Mrs. Harding had been driving.

very slow and difficult to get into. A short book fortunately.

Am loving that I have discovered a new author. I really like her proper gentleman detective, Mr. Potter, and that the mysteries keep you guessing.
