Murder at Clattern Bridge (The Ralph Chalmers Mysteries Book 14)
In this, Thurbin’s 14th book in the series set during a three week period in July 2015, Professor Ralph Chalmers finds that University affairs and world politics become uncomfortably intertwined. He is forced to choose between his sense of loyalty and his moral conscience. An incident during the Iranian sanctions talks, a graduation ceremony where students mount a political protest, and a guided tour of an ancient English market town create the backdrop to another fast moving and thrilling murder mystery. A series of robberies from hotels around London coupled with two murders and a manipulative foreign diplomat combine to stretch Inspector Linham and his faithful Sergeant Wilson to their limits. Colonel Stigart of MI6 enlists Ralph’s help to get hold of documents which in the wrong hands would set back the prospects of peace in the Middle East. Katie joins Ralph on a dangerous midnight break-in and helps to unravel the mystery. Readers who like a contemporary setting amidst cutting edge issues will enjoy this book. The unfolding of the plot is handled with skill as the villain’s identity emerges. As always, Thurbin provides a twist at the end that will delight his readers in another well-crafted and researched tale of mystery, murder and mayhem.
