Summary

When a fire destroys a landmark home in Hastings and "national treasure" Sir Arthur Sutton's body is found in the debris, it seems that arson may be to blame. But, who would want the old man dead? Could it be his children—both with a strong motive? Or his ex-wife? His live-in carer? Or perhaps its one of those Westminster "chums" he got to know during his short spell in the Cabinet? Boyd had better find out before he becomes another detail for someone to tidy up.

Best Boyd yet.

I love this series and this third book is probably the best yet although all the others are good. Boyd has to investigate the death of a politician who is found burned to death in his mansion. Drugs? Human Trafficking? Plenty of questions that need answering before DI Boyd can solve this mystery. Aubrey Parsons narration is spot on as usual. A Highly recommended listen, well worth it's 5 Stars.

Humour.

Loving listening to this series of books. Just the right mix of nail biting moments, humour and back story.
