Gently Does It

Anyone fancy a return to the 1950s? Beware, bears little resemblence to the BBC TV series... :)

"The last thing you need when you're on holiday is to become involved in a murder. For most people, that would easily qualify as the holiday from hell. For George Gently, it is a case of business as usual. The Chief Inspector's quiet Easter break in Norchester is rudely interrupted when a local timber merchant is found dead. His son, with whom he had been seen arguing, immediately becomes the prime suspect, although Gently is far from convinced of his guilt. Norchester City Police gratefully accept Gently's offer to help investigate the murder, but he soon clashes with Inspector Hansom, the officer in charge of the case. Hansom's idea of conclusive evidence appalls Gently almost as much as Gently's thorough, detailed, methodical style of investigation exasperates Hansom, who considers the murder to be a straightforward affair. Locking horns with the local law is a distraction Gently can do without when he's on the trail of a killer."

David & Bill , I am no longer receiving posts from the British & Irish Mystery Book Club. Would one of you please check to be certain that I'm still on the email list? Pat Cody, writeous@att.net

Pat I have replied to you last time you mentioned this.
I have added you as a friend so I can PM you on it.

I don’t get messages or emails
Either. I wondered why I was so out of the loop and then realized I haven’t had any communication for ages
