She's Leaving Home

1968 London; DS Cathal Breen has been called out to investigate the death of a young woman.  Her body was found in a trash heap behind a tower of flats, not far from Abbey Road.  Could she have been a fan of the Beatles?

The day after, Breen is put in charge of a new female temporary DC.  Breen doesn’t know how to handle women, especially DC Tozer.  When a suspect is brought in, Breen is surprised at his confession, but it is not the confession he was hoping for.

Tozer gets a break when she discovers a name at the EMI Studio, which houses the Beatles fan club. Tozer and Breen head off to the country to speak to the parents of the victim.  The day after they return to the parents only to find that the wife has killed her husband.  She has escaped in their Jaguar.

More death will ensue as Breen and Tozer pursue the killer.  Together they manage to connect all the dots, but it results in danger. Author William Shaw’s murder mystery starts off slowly, but leads on to plenty of action.  A very good read.  I’m looking forward to reading the sequels.
