Green for Danger by Christianna Brand
4.0
A patient dies on the operating table and Inspector Cockrill is called in to make sure nothing untoward happened. The death does seem suspicious and then one of the witnesses is murdered which confirms the first death as a murder too. The suspects are three nurses and three doctors.
I never thought the murderer was the person it was, I believed what the author wanted me to believe. Big fat red herring? Yum. The book was first published in 1944, but is set a little earlier in the blitz. The war is very important to the story especially since it’s a hospital who treats soldiers and where the staff is military.
I look forward to continuing with this author though I’ve heard this is the best book in the Cockrill series. I was waiting for this book to come out as an audio read by Derek Perkins (very good performance) on December 28 2021 and look who finished it on the day it came out… me.
