A teenage girl goes missing from her home in Paul’s Court, and soon her half-naked body is found flung over a wall into a graveyard. At almost the same time, a man who also lives in Paul’s Court is found hanging in his home. Detective Chief Superintendent Wycliffe initially thinks it’s likely that the latter killed the former and then hanged himself out of guilt, but something about that solution just doesn’t seem right to him…. "Wycliffe in Paul’s Court" is the ninth novel in this long-running series set in Cornwall, UK, and as usual the characterizations of the various people involved are both complex and intricate. I enjoy these books in large part because of Wycliffe himself, but in general I think the characters are well-drawn and feel like people anybody might be likely to know. This particular entry is quite short, as novels go, and I found the actual solution to the crimes to be, well, kind of mundane, but I would still recommend this series for those who enjoy police procedurals, particularly those set in Britain.

Two violent deaths shatter a small community. And to solve the case, Wycliffe must untangle a complex network of secrecy within the quiet of Paul's Court . . . Paul's Court is a quiet corner in the heart of the city: an oasis of peace and safety until the night when two of its inhabitants meet violent deaths. Old Willy Goppel, a German who specialised in making period doll's houses, is found hanging from a beam in his home; and fifteen-year-old Yvette Cole, with a wild reputation, is strangled and thrown half-naked over the churchyard hedge. Chief Superintendent Wycliffe has the aid of a local detective, Kersey, but even in co-operation they find this a difficult case to crack. Was Willy's death really a suicide? Or could it be that the two deaths are unconnected? As the investigation continues, they uncover a complex network of antagonisms in quiet Paul's Court.
