HTML: Poor judgements have tragic consequences... The latest in the unputdownable Teifi Valley series The Teifi Valley's coroner, Harry Probert-Lloyd, is struggling: with the blindness that drove him home from London, with the county magistrates and with an estate teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. He needs an escape, so when Dr Benton Reckitt is asked to give a second opinion on the apparently natural death of young Lizzie Rees, Harry willingly goes with him. But mistakes are made. Harry becomes embroiled in local rumours and in Esther Rees's search for the truth behind her daughter's sudden death. What is Lizzie Rees's father hiding? Was somebody else in the farmhouse on the night she died? And, most crucially for Harry, will he be able to uncover the mystery, and solve personal difficulties that threaten to tear him apart? Perfect for readers of Laura Shephard-Robinson, Stuart Turton or Elly Griffiths, this is a superb historical mystery that will keep you hooked until the very end. .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

By this, the fourth book in the series, the formula is set. Harry runs off to solve a crime in a way that challenges the boundaries of the coroner position. John struggles with class differences between himself and Harry, and with isolation as his role takes him outside his traditional circle. Harry behaves poorly and needs to be set right. It’s fine, if a bit predictable. The history of the Welsh Teifi Valley and the imminent impact of the railroads and industrial mechanization added interest to the story, but I’m kind of glad this is the last book in the series, at least for now.
