Bleeding Heart Yard: A Novel
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
A murderer strikes at a school reunion—but the students are no strangers to death— in this propulsive, twisty thriller from the internationally bestselling author of the Ruth Galloway Mysteries
Is it possible to forget that you've committed a murder?
When Cassie Fitzgerald was at school in the late 90s, she and her friends killed a fellow student. Almost twenty years later, Cassie is a happily married mother who loves her job—as a police officer. She closely guards the secret she has all but erased from her memory.
One day her husband finally persuades her to go to a school reunion. Cassie catches up with her high-achieving old friends from the Manor Park School—among them two politicians, a rock star, and a famous actress. But then, shockingly, one of them, Garfield Rice, is found dead in the school bathroom, supposedly from a drug overdose. As Garfield was an eminent—and controversial—MP and the investigation is high profile, it's headed by Cassie's new boss, DI Harbinder Kaur, freshly promoted and newly arrived in London. The trouble is, Cassie can't shake the feeling that one of them has killed again.
Is Cassie right, or was Garfield murdered by one of his political cronies? It's in Cassie's interest to skew the investigation so that it looks like it has nothing to do with Manor Park and she seems to be succeeding.
Until someone else from the reunion is found dead in Bleeding Heart Yard...

Starred review from September 19, 2022
A reunion of the class of 1998 at London’s posh Manor Park school, “where trendy lefties send their kids,” provides the backdrop for this stunning standalone from Edgar winner Griffiths (The Postscript Murder). One attendee, Det. Sgt. Cassie Fitzherbert, believes she pushed a classmate to his death on the rails of an abandoned underground tube station 21 years earlier, but could her memory be faulty? At Manor Park, Cassie was close friends with members of the Group, who used to meet in the attic of the home of Garfield Rice, now a Conservative MP. Every Group member has since had a successful career, except for EFL teacher Anna Vance, who’s “definitely hiding something.” Past crushes, jealousies, and buried passions surface, culminating in Rice’s “unexplained” death in the loo, traces of cocaine on his lips. The stabbing murder of another MP at a dining club in Bleeding Heart Yard, a courtyard in Holborn, raises the stakes. Jaw-dropping red herrings, headbanging twists and turns, and Rashomon-like alternating narratives add to the briskly paced plot, which builds to a reconstruction of the original crime and a bombshell revelation. Donna Tartt fans won’t be able to put this one down. Agent: Kirby Kim, Janklow & Nesbit Assoc.

- content: In Griffiths's third Harbinder Kaur mystery, Nina Wadia, Candida Gubbins, and Jane Collingwood offer top-notch narrations. At London's posh Manor Park School's 21st class reunion, a conservative MP is found dead, and newly appointed DI Kaur investigates. DS Cassie Fitzherbert, a former Manor Park student, is at the reunion, but she has secrets of those days she'd rather keep buried. Wadia, as Kaur, provides both gravitas and humor as she deals with her first homicide. Flashbacks are delivered credibly by Gubbins and Collingwood in alternating sections of dialogue as Cassie remembers the past. All three narrators deliver authentic performances of the mixed bag of suspects. They create credible situations, build tension, and provide a conclusion guaranteed to stun.

Cassie Fitzgerald loves her job as a London police officer, where she has a new boss, DI Harbinder Kaur, a 38-year-old gay Sikh woman. However, Cassie is hiding a terrible secret. When she was in high school, she and her friends killed a fellow student, and repressing the memories until their 20th high school reunion. Midway through the reunion festivities, one of Cassie's former classmates, now an MP, is found dead of an insulin overdose, and Cassie's fingerprints are all over the syringe. As more suspicion falls on Cassie, it becomes clear to Harbinder that someone is trying to frame Cassi and that everything leads back to the death 20 years earlier. How many more people must die before Harbinder is able to connect all the dots? Narrators Nina Wadia, Jane Collingwood, and Candida Gubbins add depth to the story and help to differentiate the characters. Series fans will welcome the return of narrator Wadia, in particular, who provides Harbinder with a standard British accent that lends her gravitas and professionalism. VERDICT Listeners should enjoy Griffiths's third outing (after The Postscript Murders) in the Harbinder Kaur series. A solid police procedural with an interesting twist that will keep listeners engaged until the end.--Jodi L. Israel
