Peter TurnbullAftermath (Hennessey and Yellich Mysteries) Severn House Publishers 01/09/2011 1847512992 / 9781847512994 Trade Paperback Edition Paperback New Ships in 10-14 Day After Release date Turnbull’s Hennessey and Yellich books may be less well-known than some British police procedurals, but readers who enjoy the genre will find them well worth exploring. Turnbull’s writing is smooth, soothing, and low-key, with certain elements—Hennessey’s dialogues with his dead wife, his ongoing relationship with forensic pathologist Louise D’Acre, the starting time and date for each chapter—repeated throughout the series to great effect. In Aftermath, Hennessey and Yellich, along with their colleagues Carmen Pharaoh, Thomson Ventnor, and Reginald Webster, are caught up in the grisly investigation of five bodies found chained together and in varying degrees of decomposition in the kitchen garden of a local estate. The estate owner has just passed away at 92 and has not been outside his bedroom for years, so it’s clear he’s not the killer. But as the investigation continues, Hennessey and company find frustration at every turn until a bizarre connection among the victims turns up. A solid entry in an always reliable series. --Emily Melton. 9781847512994 0.00 Price:

Peter TurnbullDeliver Us From Evil (Hennessey and Yellich Mysteries) March 1, Severn House Publishers 2011 1847512372 / 9781847512376 Reprint Edition Paperback New Ships in 10-14 Day After Release date* At the start of this absorbing entry in Turnbull's long-running Vale of York police series (Informed Consent, etc.), a man out for his morning stroll happens on the frozen body of an elegantly dressed woman seated on a grassy canal bank. Bruise marks on the woman's neck suggest foul play. She has no handbag, but a two-year-old utility bill carefully tucked in her shoe may provide a clue to her killer. When Det. Chief Insp. George Hennessey and Det. Sgt. Somerled Yellich investigate, they discover that the victim had worked as a companion to a number of elderly men. In each case, she'd used a different name, worn a wig, and departed with her charge's valuables. Reports of a strange Canadian gentleman in the area add to the mystery. Yellich and a detective constable travel to Ontario in search of answers. This well-plotted procedural takes several sudden twists and turns before reaching the surprise ending. 9781847512376 0.00 Price:

Peter TurnbullImproving the Silence October 29 Severn House Publishers 2010 1847511848 / 9781847511843 Paperback New Ships in 10-14 Day After Release date Turnbull departs from his Hennessey and Yellich series with this gritty, bleak, suspenseful police procedural. When a skeleton is found buried in Epping Forest, DS Harry Vicary and DI Archibald Dew are assigned the case. The autopsy reveals that the remains belong to James Coventry, a young copper who disappeared 27 years ago under mysterious circumstances. Coventry was working on Operation Fennel, but since the files on Fennel have inexplicably disappeared, it takes more digging to identify it as a major undercover investigation into the illegal marijuana trade. Coincidentally, it also exposed a number of corrupt coppers who were taking bribes from the marijuana kingpins. The corruption was never proved, and some of the officers purportedly involved are retired from the police and living a lifestyle far beyond what a police pension could support. Vicary and Dew realize they must be getting closer to the truth when someone starts murdering the retired cops. Turnbull's distinctive narrative style, combined with a stark plot, dark mood, and sinister twists, makes this a good pick for fans of edgier British procedurals. --Emily Melton. 9781847511843 0.00 Price:
