My review -
A
man is found horribly mutilated outside an old lady’s house. Eden goes to see
her – she can’t keep herself to herself. She then visits the widow of the
murdered man. She’s genuinely concerned – not a nosy person! The widow knows
who’s behind it but daren’t speak up. There’s all manner of things going on in
this sleepy village, including dog fighting and wife beating and they’re all
tied up with the political ambitions of a rich man.
It
was lovely to meet some old friends from earlier stories here, though the book
doesn’t depend on them. I think it can be read as a one-off. I love the Eden
Reid mysteries because it’s not DS or DCI Eden Reid. It’s Miss Reid, the woman
in the street. You can put yourself in her position. Her concern for the
victims and her loathing of corruption come through and will be shared by
readers. Another cracking good story in this series.
