Shadow Play - Cynthia Harrod Eagles

I don't know that I've read one of CHE's mystery novels before, at least not one from the Bill Slider series, the police detective hero in this 20th book of the series.  I enjoy her writing style and know from my long experience with her Morland Dynasty series that she is thorough in her research of time and place.  That said, I'm not a fan of mysteries, so I don't think I'll be seeking the earlier ones in this series. 

This is the mystery of a body found in a junkyard and the police investigation to discover the murderers.  I realized as I read that I was getting a very English version of police work and of different groups in English law enforcement; minorities, women, working class and elites.  Those learnings made the read worthwhile.
