In a Yorkshire Dales village everyone has a motive for murder\u00e2\u20ac\u201dexcept the killer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A retired judge is shot dead outside the Dog and Gun inn in the remote Yorkshire village of Niddersgill. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a witness who saw everything, and the gunman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s on the run; the case should be open-and-shut for DCI Jim Oldroyd. But the murderer had no motive for wanting Sandy Fraser dead and, what\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s more, no trace of him can be found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Oldroyd and his team cast the net wider, they discover that Fraser wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t without enemies in Niddersgill. As the wealthy owner of a grouse moor, he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d clashed with farmers, debtors, hunt saboteurs and blackmailers. But none of them were at the scene of the murder. And when a local shopkeeper is gunned down in a second senseless attack, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s clear that these killings are anything but random.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surrounded by the dramatic beauty of the Yorkshire Dales, Oldroyd faces a race against time to connect the crimes and find who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s behind them. But with all the evidence sending him down dead ends, can he get one step ahead before someone else is killed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Book<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the 5th book in the series. J. R. Ellis sometimes refers to previous cases worked on by Detective Chief Inspector Oldroyd and his team but knows how to give just enough information without bogging the story down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pacing of the novel was very leisurely. This mystery has a twist and I was able to figure it out but not determine the who behind it. For some reason I wasn’t in any hurry to finish reading to find out. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
