A Cousin Removed
By Malcolm Forsythe
Mrs Douglas died on pleasant Sunday afternoon in June. The witnesses said it was an accident.
Chief Inspector Millson was less convinced that Daphne Douglas had accidentally drowned. Yet he could find no motive for her husband Max, and so he turned to another case: the disappearance of a man called Boley, thirty years earlier. His inquiries uncover a grim and disturbing story.
Meanwhile, Max Douglas has taken up with Poppy Latimer, who works in the florist’s that supplied the flowers for his wife’s funeral. But Poppy isn’t at all the kind of girl Max thought she was – and when George Millson is confronted with another accident, this time he knows it’s murder.
A Cousin Removed is the second book in Malcolm Forsythe’s popular Millson and Scobie police procedural series. But it’s also a great read in its own right. It’s ideal for anyone who loves British police procedurals or thrillers.
