On the floor, between the settee and the fireplace, lay the remains of Julia Henderson. The fact that she had been murdered was not open to doubt. The brutal manner of her death precluded suicide.... Described by the vicar as "an amazingly beautiful woman" and by his pretty and obsessively house-proud wife as "my only friend," Julia, a freelance journalist, had a reputation for raising the pulses of every male, young or old, for miles around. Tiny pieces of earthenware are discovered in the cadaver's scalp, providing the only indication of a possible murder weapon. But when fingerprints are found in Julia's house, Detective Chief Inspector Ian Roper and his team of detectives move in on their prime suspect: Julia's mendacious but lovelorn husband from whom she was separated. Two other people also come under immediate suspicion: one is a cold, calculating, yet understandably jealous wife, who believes that both her husband and son were Julia's lovers, and the other is a womanizing teacher recently dismissed for having an affair with one of his students. Finally, after police receive two confessions from unexpected quarters, they make an arrest that shocks and dumbfounds everyone. Janie Bolitho's first novel of suspense, with its ingenious plotting, convincing psychology, and vivid characters, is firmly in the great tradition of the classical whodunit.

St Martins Pr

In the small English village of Little Endesley, during the hot weeks of summer holidays, the body of brutally murdered Sharon Vickers is found in the woods. She is eight years old. Jacko Penhaligon, a known child molester, is naturally the prime suspect, although he has no record of violence. The tight-knit village community wish to believe him guilty but offer up no clues. It begins to look like a spur of the moment killing, the perpetrator a passing stranger whom the police would have little chance of catching. As the murder investigation gets underway, pornographic videos come to light, a fact that directly involves officers working on the case. Other seemingly unconnected crimes take place in the nearby town of Rickenham Green that eventually lead to the identity of the killer. While struggling with the ups and downs of his own personal life and those of the officers with whom he works, DCI Ian Roper unravels a string of revenge-motivated crimes in this outstanding example of the village whodunit.
