The Best Corpse for the Job

The Best Corpse for the Job (2014) Charlie Cochrane (Lindenshaw Mysteries)

Needed a cozy series, and nothing new was working for me, so I went back to this series.

Adam is part of a group interviewing applicants for the headteacher position in his school.

Back again. Same classroom, same panel, same anticipation of death by PowerPoint.

When on candidate is found dead, Robin and his colleagues are called to investigate.

Robin parked in the staff car park, next to the ambulance, blocking all the other cars in; it didn’t matter, because nobody was going to be allowed to go anywhere for the moment.

Robin has PTSD from bullying furing the years he attended Lindenshaw St. Crispin’s School, so when he finds himself interested in one of the witnesses he isn’t necessarily thinking logically.

Note to self, three: Don’t even think about falling for him. Too complicated.

Note to self, four: do not ignore note three.

Note to self, five: Do not ignore note three. Remember?

It’s a cozy, which is precisely what I need.
