The Flesh Tailor
The Flesh Tailor: Wesley Peterson Crime Series: | Kate Ellis
4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
When Dr James Dalcott is shot dead in his cottage it looks very much like an execution. And as DI Wesley Peterson begins piecing together the victim's life, he finds that the well-liked country doctor has been harbouring strange and dramatic family secrets. Meanwhile, archaeologist Neil Watson has discovered a number of skeletons in nearby Tailors Court that bear marks of dissection and might be linked to tales of body snatching by a rogue physician in the sixteenth century. But when Neil finds the bones of a child buried with a 1930s coin, the investigation takes a sinister turn. Who were the children evacuated to Tailors Court during World War II? And where are they now? When a link is established between the wartime evacuees and Dr Dalcott's death, Wesley is faced with his most challenging case yet.

Another escape book for me. And another archaeologist in the mystery. It was a good read. It would be a good plane read but as I‘m not going anywhere soon !!! Goes into the past in Britain when children were evacuated from the cities. Mystery set in modern times.

Mehso-so

A doctor setting out to have dinner at Wesley's sister's is murdered. Neil investigates some skeletons found while some electricity cables are being laid to assess whether they are of interest to archaeologists or to the police.

As a story it all came together satisfactorily, but I was disappointed by the killer's identity enough to mark it down to a so-so rather than the pick I was intending to give it.
