No Sorrow to Die

DCI Bell and DS Alice Rowe have been called to a home where a gruesome murder has been committed.  A bed ridden man's throat has been slashed and a number of items have been stolen from the home.

Later a man is caught on camera using the credit card of the deceased.  Brought in he leads the investigating team to where he had found the wallet and subsequently thrown it in the river.  He never expected the police divers to come up with everything else, plus a knife.  However, Rowe has brought in another suspect whose prints are at the crime scene.

Despite having a suspect, DI Eric Manson finds out that the wife of the victim is having an affair, while Rowe is suspicious of her story about the night in question.  They need to query further.

Author Gillian Galbraith has put together a neat little murder mystery with a unique and surprising twist at the end.  A good, quick read.
