Rafferty and Llewellyn Police Procedural Series #16
Asking For It: British Detectives
ʻAlways a good read.’
*
A Little Laughter. A Little Mayhem. A Little MURDER…
Detective Joe Rafferty thinks: nice easy sex murder, when young schoolteacher Laura Scott is found murdered and half-naked. It puts his problems – from his brothers accusing one another when ‘stuff’ goes missing from their lock-up, to the Chief Constable’s porno-starring granddaughter – in perspective.
*
Until it doesn’t. Because his brothers, amateur entrepreneurs in a small way till now, have started to branch out. And the CC’s porno-star granddaughter? He’s to make it all just go away, though the message isn’t clear about just how he is to accomplish this convenient disappearing act in these days of videos going viral on Youtube.
*
Even his nice easy sex murder—isn’t. Laura Scott might have been murdered, but she wasn’t raped or interfered with in any way. In fact, the case gets a whole lot more complicated. Because it seems Laura Scott was all things to all people, and everyone can’t be right. To Rafferty, like Russia to Winston Churchill, Laura turns out to be ‘A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.’ But it is only by finding the real Laura that he can find her murderer.

There are seventeen in this series so far. I'm working on #18.

Another puzzling Raffety & Llewellyn mystery! One of the best things about this author is the complexity of her plotlines. There are always too many suspects and too many motives to easily name the killer!
Abra is six months along now and Raffety is really looking forward to his first child. Abra is just tired, tired of morning or all-day sickness. Lost sleep and the inability to keep anything much down has her cranky.
Rafferty is doing his best to be supportive, but between the job and his troublesome brothers, it is sometimes hard. It will be a relief for both of them when the baby comes.
If he can solve the trouble between his two brothers, who are each convinced the other has made off will their ill-gotten goods to cut the other from the profit, he will at least make his ma happy. But with the murder of a local schoolteacher, he is faced with too many problems and too little time.
Who would want to kill this seemingly well-liked teacher? Can Rafferty uncover the killer before his brother’s kill each other?
