Set in the ancient city of York, the murder mystery gave us also tantalising tidbits of the history and origins of this city. It added so much variety to the story. Told in a very easy style it was a very pleasant read, despite the murders!
DCI Oldroyd is at a very boring conference in York. He is a history buff too and goes on a ghost tour to discover more about the city he loves. Discovering a body was not part of the tour and he joins the city’s detectives in trying to solve the murder. Discovering two other bodies killed in similar fashion sparks panic whether a serial killer is on the loose.
Good detection slowly unravels the story but also highlights the problem of homelessness in cities classed as rich, where such problems should not exist. This feature was highlighted throughout the story and formed an integral and very important part of the story.
