Banks and his colleagues investigate the murder of a schoolgirl found in the churchyard on an ordinary Monday. She seems to have had a secret and her diary is missing, but in the course of investigations one suspect quickly starts to loom large, with good evidence available even if the detectives cannot really find a good motive for his guilt. Unusually for this series of novels, this book spends a long time in the court process which delivers a not guilty verdict for the suspect, so late in the day, the police have to start again. Definitely worked as a pageturner, I read this in a day. ( ) When the pastor's wife discovers a rich school girl's corpse in the cemetery, suspicion points to Owen Pierce, a teacher with a reputation for enjoying the company of his students and whose home shows a fascination with pornographic photography. Owen maintains his innocence. His attorney shatters the case. When another girl is murdered in a similar fashion, Banks and his team must examine the evidence once again. I enjoyed this story narrated by James Langton who did a wonderful job as usual. A young girl is found murdered in a churchyard and the evidence quickly points to lecturer Owen Pierce and despite Banks reservations he is charged. This is an early Banks story from 1997 and somehow seems even older, with everyone, including Banks, smoking in shops, restaurants and houses with impunity, with never a smartphone in sight. I guessed who the villain was early on, but not why and fell into the trap of a clever misdirection of an accomplice! Enjoyable retro crime story, before Banks marriage break-up and his children left home. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

The worst that can possibly happen...has. A beautiful child is dead-defiled and murdered in a lonely graveyard on a fog-shrouded evening. It is the sort of horrific crime Chief Inspector Alan Banks fled the city to escape. But the slaying of a bright and lovely teenager from a wealthy, respected family is not the end of a nightmare. Lies, dark secrets, unholy accusations, and hints of sexual depravity swirl around this abomination like leaves in an autumn wind, leading to a shattering travesty of justice that will brutally divide a devastated community with suspicion and hatred. But Banks must remain vigilant in his hunt-because when the devil is left free to pursue his terrible calling, more blood will surely flow. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
