Villainy at Vespers | Joan Cockin

1 post | 1 read

The lost art of brass rubbing, crooked antiques dealers, and smuggling all figure in this tale of an unidentified man found naked and ritually murdered on the altar in a Cornish church. Inspector Cam, on vacation with his family, is asked to help out the local police in this superbly plotted and literary mystery novel. Joan Cockin has created a perfect microcosm of the Cornish village in Villainy at Vespers (1949) and delights in populating the town of Trevelley with all manner of eccentric locals and oddball tourists. Leading the investigation is a nearly incompetent and irascible local policeman named Honeywether who enlists the help of Cam, though it is mostly the promise of free beer that decides the vacationing copper to join the investigation. Together Cam and Honeywether uncover the identity of the naked corpse and unravel a web of deceit and cover-ups.

Villainy at Vespers | Joan Cockin

Fun classic mystery, but very obviously OCR'd without much editing. I don't remember the previous book being so badly done.

This is my last post about my February #BookSpinBingo card; I decided not to complete it, even though I'm so close to the blackout. I just lost interest due to personal circumstances, and feel more inspired by getting set up for my new card.
