The Murder Diaries - Seven Times Over: Featuring Inspector Walter Darriteau (Inspector Walter Darriteau cases)

Late at night on a deserted Chester trunk road, a man is run down and killed. But is it an accident, suicide, or murder? First thing next day Inspector Walter Darriteau is on the case. The dead man was a lay preacher up for some kind of promotion. Surely that couldn’t be relevant, but they are zealous and jealous in that game. Or could it be something more sinister? Why didn’t the driver stop? And the wife didn’t seem that upset. Her main concern was the insurance policy that should pay off their mortgage. Where was she when it happened? “The Murder Diaries – Seven Times Over” is the first book in a series of fourteen standalone Walter Darriteau cases. It’s a fast-paced, thought-provoking novel with a dash of humour and twists and turns aplenty. If you enjoy English detective stories, you should investigate more about Walter and his close-knit team.
