Więcej o książce

Superintendent Mike Yeadings' sergeant, Rosemary Zyczynski, known as "Z," feels an unsettling intuition about her landlady's celebration dinner. She questions her lover, Max, about the hidden dynamics at play. The dinner is meant to honor the new mansion, which has undergone numerous transformations over the years. Z moved with her landlady from their old, dingy building to this larger home, where the party welcomes new tenants of the newly converted apartments. However, Z's concerns about her fellow tenants soon take a backseat to more pressing issues. Yeadings is set to promote either Rosemary or Beaumont, his other sergeant, to inspector, and the rivalry between the two detectives complicates their work. Their professional tension escalates when a brutal murder occurs: the body of a tenant, a woman who had recently moved in with her mother, is discovered. This case falls under Yeadings' jurisdiction, involving both Rosemary and Beaumont. Curzon skillfully crafts believable characters, including the steadfast Yeadings and his capable assistant, Z, alongside a cast of memorable individuals that immerse readers in the small English town and its captivating mysteries.
