Witness Before the Fact

Police Chief Raposo #2

by E.X. Ferrars

"You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs." It was the fact that Alec Methven had apparently done so that first makes the police suspicious on the island of Madeira. Despite all indications to the contrary, he had not eaten his last meal in solitude, and someone is desperate to conceal that fact. Friends, neighbors with motives and an inexplicable second killing only complicate matters for Peter Corey as he keeps asking awkward questions.

Reviews

[Dianne · Rating 1 out of 5]

Thinly written mystery in the “puzzle with modest romance” genre. We do not become very involved with the characters, and the plot is not particularly engaging. Better than emphasis on blood and gore, but the sort of works one forgets as soon as the book is set down.

Very enjoyable. A read in one session if you have the time
