What to expect

Peter Diamond, the Bath detective brilliant at rooting out murder, is peeved at being diverted to Professional Standards to enquire into a police car accident. Arriving late at the scene, he discovers an extra victim thrown onto an embankment - unconscious and unnoticed. Diamond administers CPR, but no one can say whether the elderly tricyclist will pull through.

But why had the man been out in the middle of the night with an urn containing human ashes? Diamond 's suspicions grow after he identifies the accident victim as Ivor Pellegrini, a well-known local eccentric and railway enthusiast. A search of Pellegrini's workshop proves beyond question that he is involved in a series of uninvestigated deaths. While Pellegrini lingers on life support, Diamond wrestles with the appalling possibility that he has saved the life of a serial killer. . .

Critics Review

With his ear for authentic dialogue laced with black humour, Peter Lovesey opens a tale that is at once improbably but totally convincing. It takes a five-star crime writer to pull off that trick

‘You’re on your own in this game,’ Peter Lovesey gives fair warning in Another One Goes Tonight, his latest impeccably constructed mystery featuring the unpredictable but ever-entertaining Detective Peter Diamond of the Bath Constabulary . . . For all the witty jabs taken at English eccentricities, this is a classic whodunit

New York Times Book Review

Edgar-finalist Lovesey’s superior 16th whodunit featuring Det.Supt. Peter Diamond offers fair play fans a delightfully clever puzzle that toys with their expectations . . .

Morning Star

Peter Lovesey, where have you been all my life? I just met you in book 16 of your series starring the curmudgeonly Detective Superintendent Peter Diamond . . .

What can be more delightful than finding a witty and erudite author with a huge backlist to devour like chocolate ganache bon bons?
