This is a classic police procedural as DI Peach visits suspect after suspect and slowly puts together the puzzle of who murdered Claptrap Clark. The entertainment lies in Peach's interviewing style, an elaborate act which is designed to keep his adversary unbalanced and in a constant state of nervousness.
Hilarious scenes are provided intermittently throughout the book when Peach reports to his superior, Superintendent Thomas Tucker. Showing as little respect as possible, putting forward outrageous theories and baiting his boss at every opportunity, I found myself looking forward to every meeting with ever greater enthusiasm.
This is a terrific book that provides a very well constructed mystery, investigated by a character who provides consistent entertainment. It's part of a series of books featuring Inspector Peach, which is good news because one book of Peach is definitely not enough.

In the 1850s, Harry Latimer falls in love with his brother's wife Rachel. A cavalry officer, he sets off for some forsaken place in the Crimea to insure the sun never sets on the English Empire.
In the 1960s, Wyoming resident Spencer returns to England where he fought during World War II. Spencer needs closure to the greatest moments of his life when he gave his heart and soul to Janet.
Singer Stella Carlyle reflects on her life that is marked in her mind by a series of failures. She wonders about her failing music career and even worse her relationship with a married man that is going nowhere.
The Horse and other steeds link these three novellas, but outside of that and locale they have little in common. Though well written, the book is an apparent parable of life using birth, death and rebirth of horses to symbolize mortality. However, the plots seem disjointed and over blown so that except for horse lovers and Sarah Harrison's faithful fans, most readers will find the tales too difficult to connect with on any level.

Have a strong heart! Both Your Houses moves at a rather rapid pace and is based on the lives of two close-knit English families: the Armitages and the Blakes. The Armnitages are the older couple with three sons while the younger Blakes are blessed with two daughters and one son. Both couples offspring never socialise due to the vast age differences,but they are forever spoken of, and asked after when the adults meet regularly at their intimate little dinners at each others homes. Apart from their dinners, the men sometimes meet at Lords for cricket and lunch while the women engage in a little libation after work in London.
In this novel you'll meet Hester Blake, a newspaper columnist; Jonty Blake, a Public Director with an Environmental company; Ann Armitage, a Womens councellor; Bryon Armitage, retired; Rose Black, a university student; Giselle Blake the middle child who is antisocial, bad mannered and low on self esteem; Daniel a student; Sebastian Armitage, who works with a Youth group, Gavin Armitage who runs one of the most impressive and popular restaurants in London; and his younger brother Julian a Public School teacher.
At the head of the story is Giselle better know as Grizzle or Zelda and Gavin Armitage.
When the two meet under strange circumstances in Paris, the electricity is ripping between them so, it's only inevitable on returning to England that the relationship will continue. Gisele leaves her family home to go to London to live with him and their parents are so delighted as they think that this could be the beginning of good things to come. Perhaps a marriage between the two families? Gisele lightens up a lot and becaomes slightly sweeter causing Gavin to fall more heavily for her. But, but his high pressured job does not allow him the quality time he would like to spend with Giselle whose job at the Health store affords her evenings off.
Everything works for awhile until a bombshell is dropped on a family gathering, when Giselle annouces her pregancy. Both families are concerned wondering if she will keep the baby; whether they will tie the knot or what amongst other things. In the meantime Giselle loses her temper and her job, and finds herself with plenty of time on her hands and plenty of time to think.
This pregancy changes this couple as well as the relationship between the senior Armitages and the Blakes. But not wanting to give too much of the story away, may I encourage readers who,like family novels with great depth and have read some of Sarah Harrison's other work, make no hesitation on ordering this book soon. It'a a page turner and you'll be happy that you've read that right here at Amazon.com
