Struggling with a jigsaw of truant choirboys, teddy bears, a black Mercedes and Jane Austen memorabilia, Diamond persists even when ...

So when the naked body of a woman is found floating in the weeds in a lake near Bath with no-one willing to identify her, no marks and no murder weapon, his sleuthing abilities are tested to the limit. Struggling with a jigsaw of truant choirboys, teddy bears, a black Mercedes and Jane Austen memorabilia, Diamond persists even when 'the men in white coats' decide they have enough evidence to make a conviction. It's just as well: for despite disastrous personal consequences, and by following the real clues hidden amongst Bath's historic buildings and intertwined with its literary past, the last detective exposes the uncomfortable truth ...

my favorite Peter Diamond mystery
Our cynical detective has had a recent charge of police brutality (awfully unfair charge) ..and is now deep into a sleuth's challenge of trying to find the killer's identity while "door stopping" and hounding the local suspects. The action build up to a brilliant bit of detecting at the satisfying finale.
