False Knight (Hennessey and Yellich Mysteries)
DCI George Hennessey wonders if he should retire. He's feeling old, tired, and frustrated, particularly by his energetic sidekick, DS Yellich. Then along comes a case so shocking and demanding that Hennessey finds his enthusiasm for police work returning. A woman's thigh is found in a dumpster. Despite a thorough search of the area, no other body parts are found. So the first challenge is to find out to whom the thigh once belonged. Hennessey and Yellich eventually determine that the victim's name was Mary Golightly. Her neighbors say that Mary and her husband fought constantly, but they also say that Mary seemed much happier in recent weeks, perhaps because she was having an affair. Mary's husband becomes the chief suspect, but as Hennessey and Yellich investigate further, they realize that there is far more to this case than an angry husband. Another skillfully written, understated, intelligent British procedural from the reliable Turnbull.Emily MeltonCopyright © American Library Association.
