Summary

In the Welsh borders, isolated by heavy snow and flooding from the thaw, cut off from telephone access, a tragedy has occurred. Old Dr Robinson known to be 'a menace' on the roads has met his end in a car crash, his big saloon thrown from the track down the steep hillside. But when the police arrive there is more to the tragedy than meets the eye: why was there a second body - an outsider to these parts - in the back of the vehicle? As the local inspectors dive into the muddy waters of this strange crime, Chief Inspector Julian Rivers and Inspector Lancing of Scotland Yard are called to investigate, with danger and deceit lying in wait among the lonely hills and authentically evoked landscapes.

Another great story from an underrated writer

A well-plotted detective story with a satisfying solution and a carefully modelled cast of characters. As always with this writer, the sense of place is incredibly strong, with abundant spacial details and vivid observations of rural life incorporated in an unforced way into the narrative. The writer clearly had a profound emotional and practical understanding of what it meant to live in remote country areas in the 1940s and 1950s, at the mercy of the weather and dependent on good relationships with family and neighbours.

I found the narration easy to listen to and the accents subtle. I’m not from the Welsh borders, but the intermingling of Bristolian and Welsh sounds seemed plausibly accurate.

Old fashioned detective story

Enjoyable. All be it slow moving but then it needs to be to get the story into perspective. Enjoyed the reader too
