The DI Tremayne Thriller Series: Books 7-9
(2020)(A book in the DI Tremayne series)
An omnibus of novels by Phillip Strang
Three Powerful Stories. Three Edge of Your Seat Thrillers. Three Books at a Discounted Price.
Burial Mound (Book 7) - A Bronze-Age burial mound close to Stonehenge, an archaeological excavation. The anticipation from those conducting the dig: an ancient body, historical artefacts, a deeper understanding of those who lived when Stonehenge was in its infancy. They did not expect to find a recent burial there as well.
It’s another case for Detective Inspector Tremayne and Sergeant Yarwood. The more recent of the two bodies, the brother of the mayor of Salisbury. The person responsible keeps leading back to the brother, the upright and serious-minded Clive Grantley. Tremayne’s sure that it’s him, but Clare Yarwood’s not so sure.
But is her belief based on professional analysis or personal hope?
The Body in the Ditch (Book 8) - A group of children play. Not far away, in the ditch on the other side of the farmyard, the body of a troubled young woman.
The nearby village hides as many secrets as the community at the farm, a disparate group of people looking for an alternative to their previous torturous lives. Their leader, idealistic and benevolent, espouses love and kindness, and clearly, somebody’s not following his dictate.
The second death, an old woman, seems unrelated to the first, but is it? Is it part of the tangled web that connects the farm to the village?
The village, Detective Inspector Tremayne and Sergeant Clare Yarwood find out soon enough, is anything, but charming and picturesque. It’s an incestuous hotbed of intrigue and wrongdoing, and what of the farm and those who live there. None of them can be ruled out, not yet.
The Horse’s Mouth (Book 9) - A day at the races for Detective Inspector Tremayne, idyllic at the outset, soon changes. A horse is dead, and then the owner’s daughter is found murdered, and Tremayne’s there when the body is discovered.
The question is, was Tremayne set up, in the wrong place at the right time? He’s the cast-iron alibi for one of the suspects, and he knows that one murder leads to two, and more often than not, to three.
The dead woman had a chequered history, not as much as her father, and then a man commits suicide. Is he the murderer, or was he the unfortunate consequence of a tragic love affair? And who was it in the stable with the woman just before she died? There is more than one person who could have killed her, and all of them have secrets they would rather not be known.
Tremayne’s health is troubling him. Is what they are saying correct? Is it time for him to retire, to take it easy and to put his feet up? But that’s not his style, and he’ll not give up on solving the murder.
