Munster's Case

Munster's Case by Hakan Nesser Summary: Intendent Münster, Inspector Van Veeteren’s right-hand man, and his beguiling colleague Ewa Moreno take center stage in the latest shocking thriller in Håkan Nesser’s internationally bestselling series. The final day of Waldemar Leverkuhn’s life begins auspiciously: With three friends, he wins a modest sum in the lottery. But it ends, after a celebratory dinner, with him belligerent, drunk, and stumbling home to his bed, where he is brutally stabbed to death with a carving knife. The case seems to be going nowhere, until the reserved, weary widow confesses to the killing. When the Leverkuhns’ formidable neighbor goes missing, and then turns up gruesomely murdered, Münster and his team find a few, wispy clues that suggest her death is connected to Leverkuhn’s—clues that lead to a dark and terrible secret. Angie’s comments: Some clues are red herrings, while others are useful in solving the mystery. Every character has something to hide, and even the end doesn’t reveal everything. Recommended for mystery readers who like dark plots.   Request this item

Heirs and Assigns

Heirs and Assigns by Marjorie Eccles Summary: Introducing Detective Inspector Herbert Reardon in a new mystery series, set in the Downton Abbey period. November, 1928. Family and friends have gathered at the Shropshire country home of Penrose Llewellyn to celebrate the retired wealthy businessman’s 60th birthday. But the morning after what should have been a convivial supper party, their host is found dead in his bed – and the circumstances look decidedly suspicious. As he questions the victim’s nearest and dearest, DI Reardon discovers there are several longstanding secrets lurking amongst the Llewellyn clan – and he is convinced that not everyone is telling him the truth, or at least not the whole truth. Those who stand to inherit most from Pen Llewellyn’s will – if it can be found – are under the strongest suspicion, and among them hides a ruthless killer. Angie’s comments: The story starts off slow, but it does speed up as it goes. I didn’t suspect the murderer or the reason for the murder, and the reasons are slightly convoluted. However, I enjoyed Reardon’s character, and the cast of characters all had interesting quirks and issues with their lives. Recommended for readers who enjoy English house party mysteries.  Request this item
