A skeleton is discovered in a boot of an abandoned car in a farmer's field in Twiggadon. Superintendent Tom Pollard and DS Gregory Toye investigate. 
An entertaining 1960s mystery with its likeable main characters. Another good addition to this enjoyable series.

Enjoyable, if not as good as some of her books. A lot of very interesting characters.

At this moment, I'm not interested in reading this book. The writing isn't pulling me in and it is difficult to hold my attention.

I love this series and I think this instalment is the best one so far.
It's an atmospheric, complex and engaging book, a travel into another age when CSI was still sort of sci-fi.
The plot is complex, enthralling and full of twists and turns.
I loved the description of the small town where people have a lot of secrets and sometimes it was like looking to an old movie.
I was hooked since the first pages and I loved to read how the culprit was discovered and the logical processes behind this discovery.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Sapere Books and Netgalley for this ARC
