Death Becomes Him — J.J. Salkeld

A young woman, beautiful, rich and successful, dies by her own hand. But DC Abla Khan isn't convinced it's a suicide even if DI Jane Francis is. As for DI Andy Hall? He hates suicide: all the enormity of death without the welcome distraction of detection. And DS Mann doesn't have much detective work to do either: because he's in pursuit of Britain's least successful criminal, although this time there are some significant complications…
The tenth in the best-selling Lakeland Murders series sees the Kendal CID team back on the Lake District beat, and offers the mix of procedural work, gritty humour and that sideways look at some of life's big issues that sets J J Salkeld's writing apart.
