I suppose I'll get used to reading books this way but I still prefer hardcover books to have and to hold. It was the last of the Chief Inspector Woodend novels but was set up as a prequel, an account of Woodend's first major case and the reason he was promoted to Chief Inspector, told to his successor, Monika Paniatowski, who has her own series.

He told this story to her as they are parting ways, he heading off to his retirement home in Spain, and she continuing on the work they used to do together as a team at Scotland Yard. It was well written, witty, exciting, insightful. I want to read this whole series in order, having heard so much about Charlie Woodend in the Monika Panitowski books I've read.

He was her mentor and friend, and after his retirement, she continuously asks herself what Charlie would do in any particular situation. I want some of the history of the cases they worked on together. I find this author's work absorbing.

Interesting to learn the history of CI Woodend's promotion. The brutal murder of a teenaged girl is barely investigated. Woodend's boss is not interested in the death of a "darkie". Racism and crooked coppers all over the place in this story set in the 50's.

Despite being blocked from investigating, Charlie uses his own time and resources to uncover the truth.

Jul 20, Lucy Takeda rated it liked it. I really like Charlie, the main character, and I adore his wife! I tend to be a determined individual a. It rates three rather than four, because I had pretty much figured out the who done it and why about halfway through. Mar 02, Grey rated it it was ok Shelves: On his retirement, Wooden recounts his first case. The narrative is littered with racist slurs which I found offensive.

I tried reading it in context of the time period and to consider that the protagonist was also offended by the terms. Add that the plot was rather predictable and slow going, and it made for just an okay read. I doubt I'll look for other titles in the series. Jul 04, Caroline Ingvaldsen rated it really liked it. Charlie Woodend's first case, is actually the last one the author has written about him.
