Bleeding Heart Yard
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
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...

"Stunning...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." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Solid plotting, an intrepid sleuth and a group of well-developed suspects make this whodunit a must-read." — BookPage

Bleeding Heart Yard, her third DI Harbinder Kaur novel, will keep readers guessing right up until the very end...Griffiths certainly knows how to manage a tightly wound plot and maintain a high level of suspense." — BookReporter

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.

Starred review from November 1, 2022
[Ed: This review has many sentences with similar syntax: Main clause, adjunct clause. The flow seems a little weird as a result. I edited a couple of spots, but if you or the reviewer could edit a couple more (I'm leery to do it myself, since I'm not so familiar with the plot), that might help with flow.]Harbinder Kaur has been promoted to DI of a murder-investigation team based in West Kensington, London, with her own office and her name on the door. When a member of her team, Cassie Fitzgerald, attends a school reunion, a fellow student, a controversial MP, dies of what appears to be a drug overdose. However, it's determined he was murdered, presumably for political reasons. Cassie finds herself reunited with her old clique, an absorbing assortment of friends. They all share a terrible secret from their school years--something that resulted in the death of one of their classmates--and once Harbinder unearths the story, she is sure there is a connection between that incident and the MP's murder. Griffiths has created a unique character in Harbinder, a 38-year-old gay Sikh woman. There is much to like and admire about her, including her quirks. (Instead of listening to the news, she plays Panda Pop.) This is the third book in the series (after The Postscript Murders, 2020), and, in addition to richly developed characters and a meaty plot, it features a spectacular ending: one of the best rescue scenes ever! Why, one wonders, hasn't even one of Griffiths' three series made it to the big or small screen yet?COPYRIGHT(2022) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
