Description
'An outstanding series' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
A Bill Slider Mystery
Detective Inspector Bill Slider has always been keen on architecture, and The Old Rectory is the kind of house he would give anything to won. But the dead body of Jennifer Andrews in her shallow grave rather spoils the view.
The case looks straightforward enough: a provocative woman murdered by her violent and jealous husband. But as the investigation proceeds, new suspects and motives keep crawling out of the woodwork. It seems there is something rotten at the heart of the community surrounding the lovely old house.
When Slider finally gets a confession, it's from a wholly incredible source. It seems in life there is always more going on than meets the eye...
Praise for the Bill Slider series:
'Slider and his creator are real discoveries'
Daily Mail
'Sharp, witty and well-plotted'
Times
'Harrod-Eagles and her detective hero form a class act. The style is fast, funny and furious - the plotting crisply devious'
Irish Times
