The team of Matt, Jen, and Ross try to uncover who and what led to the murder at an artist colony. What makes this enjoyable is the behind the scenes look at Matt's relationships with his husband and mother, Jen's social life, and Ross's work home balance. The second in a series, this stands alone effectively. ( ) I thoroughly enjoyed this English Police Procedural with its team of quirky, talented police investigators. There is Detective Inspector Matthew Venn who heads the team and was raised as part of a religious cult. Jen Rafferty, his colleague, is divorced, has two children, and often parties much too hard. Ross May, the third member of the team, is married and is the golden boy of their Detective Chief Inspector. They all manage to work and solve crimes together despite their disparate personalities. If you enjoy J.L. Ross’s books, you’ll probably enjoy this series. The team is called to the scene of a murder where the victim’s daughter discovered him with a very large piece of art glass through him. The glass was handmade by his daughter. The victim, Mr. Nigel Yeo was a gentle, caring man. So, who would want to murder him? Could it have something to do with his employment in the healthcare system? It seems the victim had tried to speak with Jen at a party the previous night, but since she had overindulged, he decided not to do so. Was he going to tell her something that led to his murder? It seems they’ll never know. With more victims, the team becomes more and more perplexed. What are they missing? What has it to do with old suicides? The case will perplex you and it will keep you guessing throughout. There are many false trails and red herrings to keep you wondering. One thing I enjoyed was learning more and more about who each member of the team was – especially with straight-laced, uptight Matthew Venn who was raised within the confines of a religious cult before he left as a young man. Matthew firmly compartmentalizes his life between work and personal, but in this book, those lines crossed several times when a number of witnesses and victims were acquainted with his husband Jonathan. Matthew Venn's character is a little on the dull side, and prefers to do things himself instead of sharing with his team. On the other hand, his husband Jonathan is a delightful person, and was even able to please Matthew's strict mother. I read the first in the series last month and after finishing this one I don't expect Venn will ever have the appeal of Vera or Jimmy Perez. However, not a bad mystery and the characters were a bit better developed in this one. No need to read in order, this one can be read as a standalone. Eve Yeo comes downstairs to her glass-blowing studio to find her father dead, stabbed through the neck with a shard from one of her pieces. The night before he had met DS Jen Rafferty at a party and asked to consult her. Who wants to ensure his silence? Good storytelling but not as much fallout for Jonathan and the Woodyard from the previous book as I would have expected. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
