Sky High - Michael Gilbert - kniha z kategorie Detektívky recenze

In the village of Brimberley, the worst thing on the horizon seems to be the chance of being outshone by the rival village choir of Bramshott. But that is until Brimberley’s lead tenor is blown up in his home by an explosion that rocks the whole community. As an amateur coalition of the motorcycling choir leader Liz, her ex-commando son and a retired general begins to piece together this strange crime, mystery upon mystery compounds in a case involving dark secrets buried in the turmoil of the Second World War, parochial grudges, a burglar whose reputation borders on the mythical, and a volatile killer poised to strike again. First published in 1955, this classic village mystery with elements of WW2 spy fiction showcases Gilbert’s ingenious plotting and ability to blow the reader’s assumptions sky high.
