\"Two<\/a>Adam Matthews and Robin Bright are settling into their new jobs: Adam is deputy headmaster at a new school and Robin is Chief Inspector at Abbotston (the nick that had all the issues in the last book).<\/p>\n

When Robin is called out to a body found at an archeological site, he firmly hopes that this case will not involve Adam.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not one of those routine \u2018found a body; we\u2019re pretty sure it\u2019s from the time of Cromwell, but we have to call it in just in case\u2019 things?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cLooks unlikely. They\u2019ve had the doctor in.\u201d Pru\u2019s eyebrows shot up. \u201cTo declare that this poor soul really is dead despite it being obvious she must have been there months.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unfortunately, Anderson–Robin’s old sergeant–calls begging a place to stay after his girlfriend chucks him out.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe says he can pack a bag and hit the road.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cBut surely she gave some sort of explanation?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cApparently, she said that if he didn\u2019t know what he\u2019d done, she wasn\u2019t going to tell him.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cOuch.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One thing this story does is reinforce the notion that just because the police know who committed a crime, it doesn’t mean anything if they don’t have evidence for a conviction–which is something that is sometimes glossed over in mysteries.<\/p>\n

The other thing this story does is have twists and turns, but they are logical within the story, and neither Adam nor Robin does anything to put themselves in danger, which I appreciate. (I tend to dislike “Hollywood endings” in books, where there has to be a showdown with Danger.<\/p>\n

Very enjoyable, and I look forward to the next story.<\/p>\n
