Hennessey finds that blue blood marks the spot There was a time when Simon Knapp wouldn't have dared go near Edgefield House as a teenager, he'd only had the nerve to snoop around the grounds. But now, returning fifty years on, he marches straight up to the derelict eighteenth-century stately home and pushes open its front door. Curiosity killed the cat and Knapp then faces something that makes his mature nonchalance seem decidedly ill-placed. The grim discovery of four corpses, all members of the same family, all murdered. Suspicion soon falls on the one surviving family member but, as DCI Hennessey and DS Yellich delve further into the case, they unravel the story of a family which has fallen from grace with the peerage, and discover a strange, remote, inward-looking village in the vale of York with its own secrets and intrigue hidden behind its placid facade. A fortune is found in an attic just as help arrives from an unexpected source--and does so in the nick of time...… (mer)

DCI George Hennessey and DS Somerled Yellich are summoned to the site of a mass murder: four members of the same eccentric, titled family have been killed and then posed in the ruins of a historic mansion. There is no question that they have been murdered, as their necks have all been broken in a very precise manner; the only member of the family to have survived lived away from the family and had experience in the military - and is currently missing. When another victim is murdered in identical fashion, Hennessey and Yellich know that it is a race against time to locate the murderer before he or she strikes again….This long-running series set in York is one of my favourites, because Mr. Turnbull’s writing style is very straight-forward; there are no poetical or rhetorical flourishes here, just plain descriptions of what the characters see, hear, say and think. For some reason the books are hard to find, although it appears that e-books are available from the 20th book in the series (this is the eighth); I am always delighted, therefore, when I finally find one! I don’t think it’s strictly necessary to read these books in order, although I am striving to do just that; the characters remain solidly themselves, firmly situated in their lives, and the City of York is just as much a character as are the people. Recommended, if you can find them! ( )
