Recensioner
Ben Reese is a university archivist at Alderton University, a small Ohio private school. When one of his old friends is found murdered, he then finds himself in the role of detective.
Ben is in England on sabbatical and working on a research project. A middle of the night phone call from Alderton is the preamble to the mystery. The next morning Ben receives a telegram telling him Richard West is dead from a heart attack. Richard was Ben’s middle-of-the-night phone caller who had to shorten his call due to an interruption.
Ben is designated executor of Richard’s estate and finds some papers that make him wonder if it was a heart attack or murder.
Being an archivist, Ben is well versed in research and applies it to finding the truth about Richard’s death and another death that occurs.
This is the first book in the series. I’ve enjoyed it and have picked up three more in the series.
Ben is a character that not only looks and sees, but also thinks. The plot moves along and the characters are interesting.… (mer)

Georgina Fletcher believes she is about to be murdered and writes a letter asking a friend to investigate even if her death is ruled natural. Ben Reese's investigation turns up several likely suspects.
I didn't like when the Scottish accent was spelt out - I felt that it was not need and distracted from the story, plus the changeable font sizes.

A good story but unfortunately I was a little put off by the authors annoying quirks with the dialogue; ie at tall for at all and it tis for it is which she uses with abandon throughout the story. I suppose it is to indicate that the speaker is Scottish but it becomes irritating when used sometimes three or four times per page.

The victim, Parson Jonathan McLean, is well liked by all who know him, and in the best of health. The sudden death makes no sense to his friends and wife.
Reese finds himself delving into the history of McLean’s family for possible cles and suspects, and putting the research on the Balnagard project, by the request of Chisholm.
Research being Reese’s area of expertise, he finds there is many threads to trace down and connect to get a complete tapestry of the murder. He finds that there is more than the obvious to the family history and slowly gets the whole story.
I’ve read other books in this series and have others. I am looking forward to them as I enjoy the characters, setting and pace.… (mer)
