Description
The doctor asks, "So how do you cope with stress?" Peter Diamond, whose blood pressure rises when his work-rate falls, proves his fitness by investigating two suspicious deaths. An unidentified woman has plunged from the roof of the Royal Crescent, and in a village nearby an elderly farmer is found shot through the head.With these puzzlers on his plate instead of his beloved omelets, Diamond doesn't have the stomach for distractions, particularly Ada Shaftsbury. Of a similar girth and temperament to the big man himself, Ada has a talent for interfering and being a pain in the rear. Now she is complaining that a fellow resident of the Harmer House homeless shelter is missing. The girl, called Rose, was found in a hospital parking lot suffering from amnesia.An extraordinary mixture of clues will soon link Rose to Diamond's two new cases. And Peter Diamond will face a killer driven by obsession and about to take the great detective on a breathless ride into the dark night of a remorseless mind.

The mysteries are cleverly plotted, have sharp characterization, and a wry sense of humor. The books are slower paced as they realistically portray how the police work. -- Merle Jacob

Vivien Armstrong's British police procedurals and stand alone mysteries are traditional mysteries with a cozy feel that are similar to Peter Lovesey's contemporary mystery books in tone, setting, and plotting. Armstrong uses sharp characterization, engaging plots, and vivid glimpses of English village life in a manner similar to Lovesey's contemporary mysteries -- Merle Jacob
Michael Innes and Peter Lovesy both spin engrossing tales of complex mystery, rich with detail and rife with humor and wit. In elegant voice, these authors create memorable characters, and aren't afraid to venture into the bizarre in pursuit of a good story. -- Melissa Gray
Lovesey's mystery series featuring Sergeant Cribb and Ison's Detective Inspector Hardcastle series are both historical mysteries set in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and feature irascible lead detectives doing old fashioned police work. The books emphasize realistic period detail, multilayered plots, and well developed characters in a slower paced story. -- Merle Jacob
