This week's book of the week is a great one in the "Mordecai Tremaine Mystery" series from the United Kingdom. It's called "In at the Death" by author Francis Duncan (that's his pen name). I thought the title was Odd, so I looked up the phrase and it means: "to be present at the end or climax of something, often an event that is either disastrous or significant." I had never heard of the author or the series, and just happened to find this book at a dollar store. It sounded good, and it was great!
ABOUT THE BOOK: Amateur sleuth Mordecai Tremaine is back in another classic mystery from the author of Murder for Christmas Mordecai Tremaine and Chief Inspector Jonathan Boyce are never pleased to have a promising game of chess interrupted – though when murder is the disrupting force, they are persuaded to make an exception.
A quick stop at Scotland Yard to collect any detective’s most trusted piece of equipment – the murder bag – the pair are spirited away to Bridgton.
No sooner have they arrived than it becomes clear that the city harbours more than its fair share of passions and motives…and one question echoes loudly throughout the cobbled streets: why did Dr Hardene, the local GP of impeccable reputation, bring a revolver with him on a routine visit to a patient?
