Death in Room Five - George Bellairs
From George Bellairs Literary Estate I was fortunate to receive number 24 in the Chief Inspector Littlejohn series to review on Amazon. (e-book via NetGalley) This is one of my favorite English Crime series, and it was a very nice read. Inspector Littlejohn and his wife Letty are on vacation at the French Riviera. The vacation comes to an abrupt halt when a compatriot is murdered nearby. Alderman Dawson is stabbed to death and Littlejohn is asked to help the French police. Dawson was on a coach tour along with other residents from Bolchester. Dawson had been in the maquis during the war, fell in love with a woman and betrayed the group. The murder could be revenge from wartime or the murderer could be one of the participants in the bus tour. To find out more about the group and the victim, Littlejohn has to go back to England and visit Bolchester, While he is away other murders take place. I enjoyed reading it - nice French settings around Cannes, and interesting to read abo
