Light Through the Glass
(1984)(Book 15 in the Pollard and Toye series)
A novel by Elizabeth Lemarchand
Detectives Pollard & Toye are back on the case! Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, M C Beaton, Sophie Hannah and Faith Martin.
Who in the village has a motive to murder... ?
A van is discovered in the water at the foot of a cliff in the village of Minstow.
The next day the remains of Dr John Paterson, late head of the geography department of the local college are found on a ledge halfway down the thousand-foot rock face.
Inspector Charles Nevinson quickly rules out suicide.
It seems the pompous and self-centred Paterson was well-off and successful with no history of mental illness.
But was his death just a tragic accident? Or could there be more than one person in the village who wanted Paterson dead...
Nevison works with Scotland Yard's Chief Superintendent Pollard and Detective Inspector Toye to solve the case.
Light Through Glass is the fifteenth cosy village mystery in the Pollard & Toye crime series: an intriguing police procedural set in rural England.
