A Fatal Affair - Faith Martin
She read
It is 1962 in a sleepy English village when the lovely Iris Carmody, Queen of the May, is discovered murdered and tied to the very maypole that is part of the annual festivities for May Day. A few days later, her boyfriend, the son of police Superintendent Keith Finch is found hanging in a barn, ostensibly a suicide. Finch asks Clement Ryder and Trudy Loveday to investigate his son’s death after the final inquest verdict.
Ryder is the aging local coroner, while Loveday is a young constable trying to be accepted as a serious police officer. They have teamed up very successfully before in solving crimes.
This is the sixth in the Ryder/Loveday series, the second I have read although it works well as a standalone. I like the books that have been published under the author’s pen name, Faith Martin. They have solid stories; more substantial than “cosy” mysteries yet still enjoyable, engrossing reads.
