A Good Read

A Day in the Death of Dorothea Cassidy by Ann Cleeves continues the Stephen Ramsay series. The protagonist is sympathetic--a British Inspector who is very human in his uncertainties and sympathies for the victims and for the criminals. He is paired with Hunter, who is in many ways his opposite number; they both are ambivalent about the partnership. The plotting is fair, in that the clues to the solution are scattered through the novel, and the reader does have the information necessary to solve the murder. There is none of the gratuitous graphic violence and gory description so often included in current novels. While not technically a "cozy," A Day in the Death of Dorothea Cassidy certainly belongs in the softer, gentler tradition of the golden age mysteries.
