It's a dark day for Scottish barrister Rex Graves when he learns that Lord Gordon Murgatroyd has passed away. Referred to as "Judge Murder" by Rex's colleagues, the famously severe judge supposedly died of natural causes--but his daughter Phoebe thinks otherwise. Wanting to honor the man who'd always been uncharacteristically kind to him, Rex thinks it would be a good idea to follow up on Phoebe's suspicions...until a meeting with his first suspect. With a target on his back and a child abduction case gripping the region, Rex fears that the judge's death won't be an isolated incident. Praise: "One of Challinor's best."--Kirkus Reviews "[An] intriguing 10th mystery...Readers will eagerly await Rex's further adventures."--Publishers Weekly "Multiple plotlines, a long-distance romantic relationship, and a cast of interesting well-drawn characters add to this satisfying mystery."--Booklist… (plus d'informations)

When barrister Rex Graves learns that Lord Gordon Murgatroyd, an old mentor has died he agrees to visit the daughter as she is suspicious of his death.
Is his death related to an old case or was his death a complete accident. Rex decides to find out.
A very easy and quick read with likeable characters.

I made no notes on this book, no highlights; I remember reading it, but very little about it. (Oddly, opposite to the way these things usually go, I do recall whodunit; I can usually remember plot but not that.) I recall this as a mildly engaging cozy-ish mystery which kept my attention and which didn't leave me with a bad taste in my mouth – except, maybe, for the main character's girlfriend. If memory serves I found her unpleasant and mentally wore a "Free Rex Graves" t-shirt.

I don't know; I didn't have much to say about the book immediately after finishing it, then never remembered to try to find anything later – in fact, I started it again recently, since nothing about it rang any "already read" bells. It definitely was not a bad book – it did well by me for all that it was the ninth book in its series, meaning I felt adequately introduced to the characters and setting without being clobbered by developments from previous installments. It just made … no impact on me, whatsoever. I'm thinking I won't be reading more of the series.

The usual disclaimer: I received this book via Netgalley for review. ( )
