BrianEWilliams | Feb 21, 2024 |   This is the eighth in the Ryder and Lovelady mysteries; it is the fourth I have read. Obviously, I enjoy Faith Martin’s writing (including her DI Hillary Green novels), although I thought this story line wasn’t quite as captivating as some of the earlier ones. Still, it is a pleasant read (yes, even with the murder). It is fun to revisit the 60s when the world is on the brink of so many social changes. A woman in a police uniform is a rarity and Lovelady’s abilities are often dismissed especially by her superiors. But, Ryder appreciates her skill and promotes her successes. This works well as a standalone, but it is worthwhile to read some of the earlier books to see the relationship between these two characters as well as some supporting players develop. It is no spoiler to note that Ryder has the beginning of Parkinson’s and is contemplating the end of his career. I hope this is not the finale of the series and that Ryder will find some way to continue assisting in investigations and that Lovelady will fully come into her own. Thanks to #netgalley and #HQ for the DRC (  ) vkmarco | Jul 3, 2022 | Ryder is aware that his Parkinson's is progressing and that this should be his last case. His son is now working with Ryder and the Constable who has been his assistant. The case involves a young musician who died of head trauma on a spiral staircase in a rather seedy club. Several side stories relevant to the case/suspects, but the whodunit is very well done (as always). Great sleuthing, fine plot, devious twists, and red herrings. I loved it! I requested and received a fee ebook copy from HQ Digital via NetGalley. Thank you! (  ) jetangen4571 | Jun 29, 2022 | nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The story has a strong sense of place (Oxford) and the times, when British pop was coming into vogue. There's some not-so-nice people in the mix but most characters are regular people. The ending is exciting and the resolution may take a reader by surprise.
It's the last book in a series, but is easily read as a standalone. (
