It was nice meeting Coroner Ryder's son and watch him transform into a decent human being. Ms Martin really has a way with awful humans as well as the totally clueless variety! Great sleuthing, fine plot, devious twists, and red herrings. I loved it! I requested and received a fee ebook copy from HQ Digital via NetGalley. Thank you! sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

'A light-hearted twisty thriller... Reminiscent of an Agatha Christie novel, with a great cast of characters. A real page-turner!' NetGalley reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New Year's Eve, 1962 As a snowstorm rages outside, Oxford high society gathers to ring in the new year at the city's most exclusive party. This is a soiree no one will forget... not least because a guest is found dead in his car the next morning. It seems the young man tragically froze to death overnight after crashing into a snowdrift ?? but when WPC Trudy Loveday and coroner Clement Ryder are called in to investigate, they discover a tangled web of secrets that plainly points to murder. With everyone telling different stories about that fateful night, only one thing is clear: several people had reason to want the victim dead. And if Trudy and Clement don't find the cracks in each lie, the killer will get away with the perfect crime... Perfect for fans of Betty Rowlands, LJ Ross and Agatha Christie, this mystery will keep you hooked until you've solved the case! Readers LOVE A Fatal Night! 'I just love this series...

This one takes place on New Year’s Eve, 1962, back to a time before cell phones and internet; it seems an appropriate setting for an English mystery set in Oxford. Ryder is the aging local coroner, while Loveday is a young constable trying to be accepted as a serious police officer, no easy feat in that era. This likable pair have teamed up successfully before in other cases. A new character introduced is Ryder’s handsome son who seems quite taken by Constable Loveday and joins in the mystery solving.
All of the Martin books I have read have solid stories; more substantial than “cosy” mysteries, yet still pleasant reads (even though murders take place!).
Set during a time of epic snow storms, A Fatal Night is especially atmospheric.
If you enjoy this book, try Martin’s others in the series, as well as her DI Hillary Greene novels. ( )
