Who murdered the elite tailor in Bristol, England? And why so brutally?

My Review: The question on the minds of everyone involved with this case is “who would want to murder a monk?” Because the sight of a monk, in full habit, dumped in a ditch, duct-taped to a chair and literally and obviously beaten to death, causes pretty much every mind involved to rabbit around the wrong question. Not that it’s not both important and heinous that Brother Dominic is dead - particularly in such a brutal and gruesome fashion. Even DS Cross gets caught up in it and sent off track as rarely happens to him.

Exciting new titles from the likes of screenwriter Tim Sullivan, veteran Kathy Reichs and Icelandic legend Arnaldur Indridason

In 'The Politician' (Atlantic Crime, Mar.), the screenwriter turned novelist's latest DS George Cross mystery, the neurodivergent sleuth searches for the killer of a former mayor.

A relentlessly logical investigator must solve a mystery rooted in love and loyalty.

An unconventional British sleuth probes the murder of a drug-taking gym rat.
