Description

When a woman, the head teacher of a struggling local school, is found brutally murdered in Langstone Harbour DI Andy Horton is appointed to lead the investigation – but not for long if Superintendent Uckfield has his way. Horton is given only a week to find the killer, after that he will be shunted off the case. Horton now has a point to prove as well as a complex murder case to solve. A note was found on the victim – Have you forgotten ME? – along with money wrapped up in a five-pound note and dripping with honey. Is there a clue in 'The Owl and the Pussy-cat' rhyme? Is it simply a senseless murder by an unhinged killer or does someone close to the head have a motive for murder? As Horton delves deeper into the investigation, aided by Sergeant Cantelli, the tension mounts. With the clock ticking Horton is soon forced to take a decision that will put his life on the line...

        October 1, 2007
        When a mutilated body is found on a buoy in the middle of a harbor, DI Andy Horton draws the case, temporarily. IfAndy cant solve it in four days, it will be handed over to his main rival, recently promoted over Andy to the crime squad. Hes hot on the trail when another murder takes place, and the victim is Andys top suspect. The very large (and somewhat confusing) cast of characters and a conclusion thats a bit out of left field are drawbacks in an otherwise entertaining procedural. Give this series, making its first appearance in the U.S., a chance to find its legs.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
