Book cold case, april

I enjoyed the plot of the book It s told almost completely through conversations like a play which I enjoyed Overall it was a good book with a likable main character Peter Turnbull I really couldn t get into the style of writing So I m afraid to say that I gave up on this one after about 4 chapters Peter Turnbull Peter Turnbull is the author of nineteen previous novels and numerous works of short fiction He worked for many years as a social worker in Glasgow before returning to his native Yorkshire. Cold case christianity book pdf Introducing Maurice Mundy retired detective constable at the Met a maverick who s back and about to raise the temperature on a ten year old unsolved murder of a young boy Maurice Mundy recently retired detective constable at the Metropolitan Police has returned to join Scotland Yard s Cold Case Review Team Ten years ago a twelve year old boy was murdered his body left floating in a nearby pond A second look at the case soon reveals that a sex worker was also murdered nearby on the same night While nothing linked the two murders at the time it is one of a number of attacks on sex workers over a twenty year period that Essex Police are still investigating as part of Operation Moonlight Known as a loose cannon who doesn t always play by the rules Mundy is in danger of ruffling than a few feathers as he probes deeper into the events of that fateful night Will his maverick approach lead him to the truth or will it prove to be a dangerous step too far Cold Case A A Maurice Mundy Mystery Book 1 I guess I can summarize this book in two words scattered and boring It s scattered as the author decided to add characters along the way without an introduction Only later in the book did their relevance become apparent It s boring in that the main character Maurice Mundy has no depth Again the depth only begins to be revealed towards the end of the book The book just seemed amateurish If you are looking to read something to fill some time then this book would fit that description Peter Turnbull I thought this tale was told in an unusual way The story line was good and delivery was mediocre Peter Turnbull Slow Peter Turnbull Ageing detectives Maurice Mundy and Tom Ingram of the Met s Cold Case Review Team travel to Essex to review evidence in a 10 year old case of murdered schoolboy Oliver Walwyn who died of head injuries and whose body was found in a pond off a village green But while interviewing the boy s mother and later the investigating officer they learn of a second murder in Essex on the same day of a prostitute found in a ditch That murder is part of an ongoing investigation into the deaths of several call girls in the region and by re interviewing an eye witness from the time they glean information on a vehicle seen in the area It had all stagnated and what do we do Me and Tom we make two home visits and hey presto we hand them a very likely suspect But they re unhappy What planet are they on Aside from stepping outside their brief of cold cases the maverick Mundy has reservations about one of his first assignments as a rookie uniformed police officer the arrest of an intellectually impaired man for the vicious and bloody murder of an ageing actress who he worked for doing odd jobs Mundy visits him in prison where he has served 28 of a 30 year sentence maintaining his innocence And as Mundy finds out someone in the Met doesn t want him probing A Peter Turnbull mystery is always pleasant like watching Midsomer Murders as the various threads weave and unravel An easy read at less than 200 pages the language is at times stilted as if a police officer is reading from his notebook but the emotions and affections expressed are genuine and there s the trivia which I enjoy Fletcher was an arrow maker in medieval timesthe feathers at the rear of an arrow are the arrow s fletch Peter Turnbull I rather like Maurice Mundy He s independent and doesn t care much for following the rules but he s smart and a good investigator Peter Turnbull
