Lädt ... The Marriage Hearse (2006)von Kate Ellis
![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. When her father comes to pick the bride up to take her to the church, he finds her naked body on the bed, with a cable wrapped round her neck. Was it random sexual violence or was it just posed to look that way? It turns out there were plenty of people who wished Kristen ill. The author managed to lead me down the garden path in several different directions, just when I thought I was being clever and had worked things out.

Gehört zur ReiheWesley Peterson (10)
When Kirsten Harbourn is found strangled and naked on her wedding day, DI Wesley Peterson makes some alarming discoveries. Kirsten was being pursued by an obsessed stalker and she had dark secrets her doting fianc, Peter, knew nothing about. But Kirsten's wasn't the only wedding planned to take place that July day in South Devon. At Morbay register office a terrified young girl makes her wedding vows. And a few days later her bridegroom is found dead in a seedy seaside hotel. As Wesley investigates he suspects that his death and his bride's subsequent disappearance might be linked to Kirsten's murder. Meanwhile the skeleton of a young female is found buried in a farmer's field - a field that once belonged to the family of Ralph Strong, an Elizabethan playwright whose play, 'The Fair Wife of Padua' is to be performed for the first time in four hundred years. Is this bloodthirsty play a confession to a murder committed in the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1? Or does it tell another story, one that might cast light on recent mysteries?

This one was a disappointment. The bogus wedding storyline was obvious from the opening pages, but it took the police 60% of the book to work it out. The extracts from the play which began each chapter were confusing and added nothing for me. The solution to Kirsten's murder was a bit ridiculous - surely it would have made far more sense for Dr Creston to tell his son what he had done and get him to break things off, rather than him telling Kirsten about it - how did he know she wouldn't report him?
And then there's Pam and Wesley and their unhappy marriage... They deserve each other, it's beginning to seem to me. And there was Neil being all disapproving, when he and Pam kissed in an earlier book. (
