Alan Beechey, THE PRIVATE PLOT

This Private Plot (Oliver Swithin, #3)This Private Plot by Alan Beechey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


At last, at last, the third case of Oliver Swithin and his friends and relations (or impedimenta) which publishers kept us waiting for so long.
A strange hanging death in the Warwickshire village of Synne (and yes, there are all the cracks about living in Synne) is dismissed by the constabulary as the suicide of a blackmail victim... But Oliver finds too many things that don't fit. His amateur approach is joined by many of the cast of the first two books... in between collecting notes for "Finsbury Ferret's Guide to What Everybody Knows" (which should add the term "mindspam" to our vocabularies. Along the way he stumbles over numerous creepy and ghastly things in the English countryside, along with Humfrey Fingerhood's butchery of amateur theater, and ... two William Shakespeares?
