sandin954's review against another edition
3.0
Called in to consult on a murder investigation, retired former policeman Frank Elder leaves his self-imposed exile in Cornwall to go to London to work on the case. Perfectly acceptable crime novel that is well written but Frank and this series are just not in the same league as the author's previous works featuring Charlie Resnick and the Nottingham police force.

This is the second book in the series and, although it would make sense as a read alone, a lot of the back story from the first book helps this one make more sense.
I’ve read both books and am still not sure what I think about Frank Elder - a retired police officer who now consults with The Met (in this book). I can’t really get a mental image of him.
The story goes along though and a couple of cases seem to be mixed together. There’s no real twist and the suspects are proven to be the ones who committed the crimes.
