Publisher's Summary:
When the body of a middle-aged woman is found frozen beside a canal towpath, it looks like a simple case of death by misadventure. But marks on her neck and a carefully-hidden piece of paper point towards foul play. George Hennessey and Somerled Yellich assemble their team, and quickly begin their investigation into this unusual murder. But as the case progresses they discover that the victim, who was originally from Canada, may not have been all she seemed.
Then reports of a mysterious Canadian man who was seen looking for the woman before her death lead Yellich and Ventnor to a small town in the Ontario Province, and to a shocking discovery that changes the whole nature of the case.
Members Reviews:
Possibly Turnbull's best.
Peter Turnbull's Hennessey and Yellich series is my latest discovery and I am happily devouring all of his books I can find.
Rarely available in the USA but popular in Britain, he never fails to tell a good tale of murder, mischief and mayhem while
also describing the personal lives of the two likeable Yorkshire detectives. York itself, the setting for all his books, is almost
a major character - it certainly makes you want to travel to that delightful historic city in the north of England.
"Delliver Us From Evil" is the 20th book in the series which can be read in any order, although it is interesting to see the
characters develop. This one starts with the discovery of a woman sitting on a bench in the wintertime - frozen dead where she
sat. But she is not quite the person she appears to be. The plot, the weather and the list of suspects thickens.
What an ending!
The twists and turns in this mystery will keep you enthralled to the end. Through out this book you will constantly be surprised and saying to yourself "I never saw that coming" A really good read even though the subject matter is quite "cold" and a romance as well.
Five Stars
Love his books.
Turnbull has written an excellent book with no unnecessary words
As most of his books, Turnbull has written an excellent book with no unnecessary words. Fast, clean reading.
Weak ending.
Fairly entertaining yarn about the death of a woman who is found frozen to death in rural York, England. The detectives of the York constabulary trace the potential murder suspects back to the victim's home in Ontario, Canada. Clever characterizations of the detective team and observations on Canada from a British viewpoint are the novel's strong points. However, an extremely disappointing ending in which the murderer is revealed in two paragraphs made me glad I got this from my public library and had not wasted my money purchasing it. All in all, say a 4 out of 10 rating.
