pick#2 in the Sloan & Crosby series, and a fun read.
A woman is found dead on a lonely village roadway, victim of a hit & run. What could be a sad but simple crime is complicated by the discovery that not only was the “accident” purposeful, but also that the woman could not have been the mother of her only daughter. Then who is Henrietta?
I found the dual investigations (By the police on side, and Henrietta herself on the other) to be very engaging.
pickWhat seems like a hit and run soon turns complicated. It‘s determined the victim never had children, so who‘s Henrietta? Henrietta is shocked to learn her mother isn‘t her mother after all.... Detective Sloan has a complicated case on his hands. If no one knows anything, how can he find out who Henrietta really is? Someone knew and killed to keep the secret.
British countryside mystery. Slightly dated language. Good plot.
