Inspector Proby's Christmas (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

‘Gano's excellent descriptive passages create a vivid atmosphere…’ –Publishers Weekly Snow is falling in Hampton and the city's inhabitants are busy with festive preparations when a young woman is savagely murdered in the city's picturesque cathedral. Then another young woman is murdered…and another… Inspector Proby is assigned to the case. As a seasoned detective, it’s not difficult for him to figure out who did it, but proving it is another matter altogether. It will take all of his wit and courage to catch this killer before he strikes again. But his quest takes a dramatic turn when he finds out his own wife is sleeping with the killer. Was she involved with the slaughter? The chilling killer watches Proby…taunts him…thinking he’s got away with his crimes… With the superintendent away on holiday, and the Chief Constable threatening suspension, Proby is not sure he can rely on his own police department. Everyone doubts Proby’s ability to solve this case, but his instincts point him in the direction of one vital clue… The inspector must use the only person he can rely on as bait but is Proby willing to pay the ultimate price? This exciting launch to the new Inspector Proby series decks the halls — with malice and murder. Praise for John Gano “Gano's excellent descriptive passages create a vivid atmosphere; he's especially good at showing how mistaken identifications and useless clues complicate police work.” – Publishers Weekly “A sober, unspectacular debut for quietly appealing Proby.” – Kirkus Reviews John Gano , a criminology expert, is known for the authenticity of his novels. He specialized in law at Cambridge and spent several years visiting people in prison, giving him first-hand knowledge of life on the “inside”. Gano is the author of the Inspector Proby mystery series and two opera mysteries, Arias of Blood and Death at the Opera , in which he combines his two favourite subjects – crimes and opera. Gano lives in Sussex. Endeavour Press is the UK's leading independent digital publisher. For more information on our titles please sign up to our newsletter at www.endeavourpress.com.
