The Best Corpse for the Job by Charlie Cochrane
4.0
I enjoyed this gentle romp through the archetypal English village - with murder in the midst I was almost envisaging Miss Marple striding through! 3.75*
Whilst there is murder most foul, it is off page so the gentleness is embedded through the story and in the writing, no great angst or even great swathes of passion between Robin and Adam.
I think fans of high angst and gritty murder mystery would be disappointed but it is British murder writing in the old style and I enjoyed it.
Not sure if there will be more from Robin and Adam, but there are still some questions lurking - about Robin's time at St Crispin's, his arch nemesis Ryan now visiting the local gay bar.
If you are wanting a nice read, lots of suspects, but not needing to invest too heavily into complicated plot, look no further.
