Book Overview
The horizon doesn't always mark the end of the road. . . When Francis Armstrong moves into his fussily designed Victorian house in the heart of the Vale of York, his August stretches before him in a haze of leisurely house refurbishments. His decision to move a pile of rubble, however, brings DCI Hennessey and Sergeant Yellich springing to the scene at the double. The woman's skeleton they study alongside Louise D'Acre, the lovely pathologist, points the finger of blame firmly and soon all the roads of evidence are leading in one direction. But once that destination is reached, the road continues onwards beyond that point, to a doorstep that makes no attempt to conceal its horrific crimes, but brags of them.

AN ENJOYABLE TRIP TO YORK
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
ALL ROADS LEADETH is a well-written police procedural with an interesting plot involving interlocking crimes. DCI Hennessey and Sergeant Yellich of the York CID are called to examine a twenty-year-old skeleton found in a pile of rubble beside a country house undergoing renovation. This leads them into an investigation of other unsolved disappearances that in turn lead to a London villain who has a macabre way of punishing informers.Peter Turnbull keeps the reader engrossed without resort to wholesale slaughter or reckless behavior by his sleuths. Instead he offers realistic characterization and solid police work mixed with fascinating tidbits about the old city of York. One learns about the lives of Hennessey and Yellich beyond their work. Turnbull even saves one small surprise for the very end.
