Ryder & Loveday Mystery, Book 8
Synopsis: In a backstreet club, people dance the night away to their favourite band. But behind the scenes there is trouble afoot. An argument is brewing between bandmembers, two possessive girlfriends have plans for their partners, the club manager is creaming off profits – and a tragic accident leaves the lead singer dead.
But was it an accident at all? Coroner Clement Ryder is suspicious, and WPC Trudy Loveday knows there’s only one thing for it. She’s going undercover, deep into the seedy underbelly of Oxford nightlife.
Meanwhile Clement’s own secret is becoming increasingly difficult to keep hidden, and discovering the singer’s murderer might not be the only shock in store for Trudy…
Review: I’m always eager to find out more about the adventures of our dear Trudy, and even more so now that Ryder’s son has entered the picture.
A young musician has died. The trial is over and they’ve decided his death was accidental. However, Clement Ryder doesn’t believe it and manages to reopen the investigation to find out what really happened with his young friend Trudy. Trudy has to infiltrate a club to unravel the truth, with the help of Vincent Ryder.
This duo is very touching, and I couldn’t wait to see how they would solve the case. I was carried along by the novel and the investigation. I was curious to understand what had happened, and the author keeps us on the edge of our seats throughout the story. I really wasn’t expecting the ending, which took me by surprise!
I don’t know if this is really the last volume, but I hope there will be more, because there’s still so much potential left in the series and in the characters!
A series that I recommend!
