Synopsis

An outstanding series' NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

A Bill Slider Mystery

A young woman is stabbed to death while jogging in a west London park. She's the third in six weeks and there's nothing Detective Inspector Bill Slider hates more than a serial killer.

And as Slider and his team investigate the death of Chattie Cornfeld, things just get more complicated. There's a startling anomaly between her ritzy lifestyle and her modest income. There are friends who loved her, a sister who hated her, men who thought they knew her and a mysterious package that poses more questions than it answers.

Who was the real Chattie? Where was she on the last day of her life? And was it love, hate or avarice that drove the hooded figure to kill her?

Media Reviews
Harrod-Eagles unleashes an effective, dark-edged tale and serves up a truly nasty villain into the bargain... [She] gracefully builds upon her habitually elegant procedural stylings to deliver taut psychological suspense. * Publishers Weekly *
The books work so well because the author manages to infuse them with a warmth and wit that lingers on after the last page is turned. * Yorkshire Post *
Delightful dialogue and carefully observed details makes Harrod-Eagles's 10th Bill Slider Mystery a winner. * Publishers Weekly *
This is an excellent, solidly professional police story: well-written, with well-drawn characters and a neatly dovetailed plot. * Evening Standard *
Witty wordsmith that she is, Harrod-Eagles knows exactly how to get under her detective's all-too-sensitive skin -- Marilyn Stasio * New York Times Book Review *
There are plenty of suspects for old Bill Slider and his team, and a whole fishmonger's full of red herrings. Harrod-Eagles is a wonderfully assured, compelling plotter, and her hero is as appealing as ever. * Yorkshire Post *
The charm oozed by Bill, who is a normal person with personal problems struggling to survive in a cruel world through humour and wit...a unique novel that gives readers a glimpse of an England rarely seen in this sub-genre. -- HARRIET KLAUSNER
A fabulous who-done-it -- HARRIET KLAUSNER
Each plot twist, including one devious turn that throws suspicion on a former member of Slider's murder squad, hangs on the testimony of complicated characters who are among the author's finest stock. Nobody is exactly what he or she seems: not the victim, not even Slider, who has reason to examine his own * New York Times Book Review *
Confident and lucid * Seattle Times *
Harrod-Eagles delivers snappy prose and a ripping tour through the British music world. * Mostly Murder *
