Orchestrated Death

by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles

ONE LINE SUMMARY: Inspector Slider investigates the death of a woman while making a radical change to his life.

This is the first in a series, and I only picked it up because, like False Profits, I had seen the latest book in the series on the browsing rack at the library. Unlike False Profits, though, I actually enjoyed this a great deal.

This is a well-plotted mystery that wraps up nicely but leaves you wanting to hear more about Inspector Slider’s personal life. There are some odd quirks in the book, though, that vary from what I had expected of a typical British procedural.

I didn’t get a clear picture of Inspector Slider, but I’m hoping his personality will become more clear with future books. This series shows promise so far, and I will definitely be looking for the next book in the series.
