Publisher's Summary

A brand new Ryder & Loveday mystery from global best seller Faith Martin.

Summer 1960, Oxford.

In the glorious sunshine of Oxford, on a day when everyone should be celebrating, tragedy strikes when a university student is found floating in the river, dead.

Probationary WPC Trudy Loveday finds herself paired with coroner Clement Ryder to investigate and it soon becomes clear that this case is not going to be easy. The witnesses all refuse to give a straight answer, each new lead sends them in a new direction and tales of other missing youngsters add further mystery to the investigation. One thing is certain though, something doesn’t seem quite right about the university’s most popular student....

The Ryder and Loveday Series:

Book 1: A Fatal Obsession

Book 2: A Fatal Mistake

Book 3: A Fatal Flaw

great

I am so glad I came across this series. The second installment is as good as the first. Solid writing, likable leads but not too much focus on their personal lives rather than the mystery. And a good mystery it was, frustratingly realistic, seamy and sad, with sympathetic villains (and one that you just want to haul off and punch in the mouth. What a hateful character!) and believable motives.
The atmosphere was carefully drawn. This is going to make me sound silly, but I felt like I was on the set of Endeavour. The Oxford in the 60s had a very Morse-y vibe and I love it.
The perfect books to listen to at work.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
