W. J. Burley. Wycliffe and the Redhead (1997)

     W. J. Burley. Wycliffe and the Redhead (1997) An old murder causes trouble, as the daughter of the convicted man takes a job with the man whose evidence put her father away. Her body is found in a quarry, and Wycliffe’s investigation reveals more secrets, etc, until the true perp is unmasked. Well crafted, but forgettable (I’m writing this some three weeks after I read the book, and I can’t remember much, even with the help of the cover blurb.) I’m finding other Wycliffe books and reading them, but I probably won’t keep them. the TV series based on these books was/is above average. This often happens with merely good genre fiction. ** (2004)
