AN ENJOYABLE TRIP TO YORK

ALL ROADS LEADETH is a well-written police procedural with an interesting plot involving interlocking crimes. DCI Hennessey and Sergeant Yellich of the York CID are called to examine a twenty-year-old skeleton found in a pile of rubble beside a country house undergoing renovation. This leads them into an investigation of other unsolved disappearances that in turn lead to a London villain who has a macabre way of punishing informers.Peter Turnbull keeps the reader engrossed without resort to wholesale slaughter or reckless behavior by his sleuths. Instead he offers realistic characterization and solid police work mixed with fascinating tidbits about the old city of York. One learns about the lives of Hennessey and Yellich beyond their work. Turnbull even saves one small surprise for the very end.
