I had theories all the way through the book and was confident, going into the denouement, that I had cracked the case just ahead of our detective - WRONG! I was not even close but, when our hero explained his reasoning, yes, it was all there for me. I will not say too much about the plot, I do not want to spoil it for any potential reader or, remind me in a few years time, when I shall happily re-read this (guessing the correct criminal just before the detective, this time!). Suffice to say, the opening sentence begins; 'The woman's body lay face down inside the ancient stone circle....' - I told you that it gripped from the start, none of the long introductions to our detective, the local community, etc., etc. I shall look out for more of Mr Dolley's work.

Just park some of your rationality at the door and enjoy the ride for what it is - mystery wrapped in farce with a (unnecessary?) soupcon of relationship angst.

Fiction.
Mystery.
HTML: An Unsafe Pair of Hands is a quirky murder mystery set in rural England charting the descent and rise of a detective on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Peter Shand is the 'safe pair of hands' - a high-flying police administrator seconded to a quiet rural CID team to gain the operational experience he needs for promotion. On his second day he's thrust into a high-profile murder case. A woman's body is discovered in an old stone circle - with another woman buried beneath her. The pressure on Shand is enormous. The case is baffling. A local journalist is out to discredit him and then, goaded at a press conference about lack of progress, he invents a lead. And keeps on lying Рto the press, his boss, his team - telling himself that he'll solve the case before anyone finds out. And then another murder occurs. And had there been a third? Which will break first? The case, or Shand? .Aucune description trouv̩e dans une biblioth̬que |

I did actually laugh out loud at some points but all in all it was a fairly run of the mill detective story, with potential for a series, which didn't happen. (
