Synopsis (Amazon)
Former Detective Hillary Greene and her cold case team are sweltering in their stuffy basement office on the hottest day of the year when they are handed an impossible case.
Fifteen years ago, Imelda Phelps was battered to death in the hallway of her home. The brutal crime shocked the residents of the pretty market town of Chipping Norton. The killer was never caught.
The motive for the murder remains a mystery. Could the happily married mother-of-two’s stunning good looks have played a part in her death?
Everyone will have to take a hard look in the mirror — and not everyone will like what they see. If Hillary is to crack the case, she must keep an open mind. But one thing is crystal-clear: this crime was personal. It’s up to Hillary and her team to work out which of Imelda’s family and friends is hiding a deadly secret.
A secret lover. A humiliated husband. A vengeful ex-business partner. A resentful daughter. The list of suspects grows . . .
Suddenly an unexpected lead throws the case wide open. And then a second body turns up.
This cold case is now red hot . . .
My Take
I've obviously missed out on reading quite a number in this series but this title has reminded me how much I have enjoyed them in the past.
Hillary Greene is still living in a canal boat but currently in a sweltering heat wave. She has been retired for 2 years but is now working for the Metropolitan police as a consultant on cold cases.
Recommended. A Cosy.
My rating: 4.5
