   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  Balthazar-Lawson | May 19, 2022 |   The book is easily read as a standalone story but I would recommend the whole series. Another enjoyable well-written mystery in this delightful series, with its very likeable main two characters. A NetGalley Book (  ) Vesper1931 | Jul 29, 2021 | This one takes place in 1960, back to a time before cell phones and internet; it seems an appropriate setting for an English country mystery and a young woman trying to be accepted as a serious police officer. ( ) vkmarco | Aug 17, 2019 | I'm sure that my lukewarm response to this book is mostly due to my aversion to first degree murder of a child disguised as an accident. I just couldn't seem to get as interested in either the plot or the characters this time. I haven't read the earlier books in the series, but that wasn't the problem as there was good referencing so that the reader is not left adrift. I requested and received a free ebook copy from HQ Digital via NetGalley. ( ) jetangen4571 | Aug 3, 2019 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

'Great characters, great plot and a totally dazzling finish... Wonderful.' NetGalley reviewer, 5 stars Oxford, 1961 A family day out at Briar's Hall ends in tragedy when a young boy goes missing ?? and his body is found at the bottom of a disused well in the orchard. It looks like a simple case of an eleven-year-old exploring where he shouldn't: a tragic accident. But Coroner Clement Ryder and Probationary WPC Trudy Loveday aren't convinced. If Eddie had been climbing and fallen, why were there no cuts or dirt on his hands? Why would a boy terrified of heights be around a well at all? Clement and Trudy are determined to get to the truth, but the more they dig into Briar's Hall and the mysterious de Lacey family who live there, the murkier things become. Could it be that poor Eddie's death was murder? There are rumours of blackmail in the village, and Clement and Trudy have a horrible feeling that Eddie stumbled on a secret that someone was willing to kill for...

Together they question everyone they can think of to question but all to no avail as they are told in no uncertain terms that the investigation is to be closed. Only then does the truth reveal itself.
Over shadowing the investigation is Dr Ryder's Parkinson's disease and Trudy Loveday's growing suspicion that there is something wrong with the doctor.
Unfortunately the ending, abrupt as it was, was too drawn out by inserting reminiscing in the middle of action. The climactic action should be allowed flow freely and not interrupted. It's so annoying when this happens. (
