This is one of the best historical mysteries I have ever read. Gruesome and yet fascinating, rich with detail...and a hero/detective with a terrible past and an uncanny understanding of evil.
Helpful Score: 1
This is the second in the Inspector John Madden series. It is 1932, and Inspector Madden's retirement is brought to an abrupt end when he discovers the mutilated body of a young girl in the woods near his home in the English countryside. Rennie Airth is an excellent writer and the plot will hold your interest to the very last page!

Five star book.
Rennie Airth's series - this is book 2 - is for those who love a good mystery in an English setting. The writer is a formal journalist who has an easy-to-read style of writing.
It took a little while to get into, but once I did, I was hooked. You will come to love John Madden and his physician wife.
