The Heart Knoweth:

by Tim Ellis

Parish and Richards are sent to the British Virgin Islands to catch a child serial killer, but getting there is a matter of life and death. Xena and Stick have the case of a woman murdered in the library at Essex University’s Loughton Campus, but what appears to be a simple murder is anything but. Jerry, Joe and Bee are giving free advice at a Legal Clinic and are asked to investigate the resolution of a partnership dispute due to one partner’s fraudulent accounting, but things are not what they seem. Kowalski and Bronwyn are asked by a big London insurance company to take the case of a stately home burglary, which could lead to a significant finder’s fee if they get it right, but they fall foul of one of Kowalski’s old flames.

Fantastic. Unimaginable stories

This is the 24th Parish &Richards book I have read and every one of them have been written with that same sense of humour. I love all of the characters, and there are many regular ones, but it is the quirky sense of humour that keeps me picking up the next one.. I have already downloaded the next three. Thank you so much
