Sins of the Father

A rich old man, Rupert Moncrieff, is beaten to death in the silence of his West Country waterside mansion, his head hooded and his throat cut His extended family are still living beneath his roof, each with their own room, their own story, their own ghosts, and their own motives for murder And in this world of darkness and dysfunction are the artefacts and memories of colonial atrocities that are returning to haunt them all.At the heart of the murder investigation is DS Jimmy Suttle who, along with his estranged journalist wife Lizzie, is fighting his own demons after the abduction and death of their young daughter, Grace.But who killed Rupert Moncrieff And what secrets is the house holding onto that could unravel this whole investigation The enquiry takes Suttle to Africa and beyond as he slowly begins to understand the damage that human beings can inflict upon one another Not simply on the battlefield Not simply in the torture camps in the Kenyan bush But much, much closer to home.

first introduction to the Jimmy Suttle series and indeed my first introduction to the author and I have to say that it will definitely not be the last book I read from him, this was terrific top notch crime fiction.This is one of those books that grips you from the outset even if you can t quite work out why there are two main threads running through this tale, that of the murder investigation and that of some very personal issues for Jimmy s family since the loss of their child both equally compelling and extremely readable.It didnt seem to matter that I had not read the other books in the series, although I will certainly be doing so now, the writing is brilliantly addictive and the...This is the 3rd of the DS Jimmy Suttle series and there is enough back information included for this to be read stand alone The plot centres around the murder of an elderly man Running alongside this is a very personal investigation anyabout this would spoil it for the reader being carried out by Jimmy s wife, Liz...If I say this is a good holiday read, it s not meant to be a put down What I do mean is that it s a good page turner I enjoyed Hurley s Joe Faraday series, and his Jimmy Suttle novels are not proving to be a disappointment As is usual with Hurley, two linked plots run side by side, in this case involving Jimmy Suttle and his estranged wife Lizzie, each coping in their own way with the death of their child What makes these books so readable is Hurley s light but believable touch ...This is a powerful book and is probably worth three and a half stars I had read the author s Joe Faraday series and apparently Jimmy Suttle had featured in that series but I did not remember him There are two stories in this book the story of Suttle s estranged wife trying to comes to terms with the death of her daughter and the story of Suttle s investigation of the murder of a man hacked to death with a machete The author is pretty mean to his main characters he killed off Joe

information to make you think about various social issues When it comes to Jimmy Suttle s love life, i can t decide if I want him to get back with Lizzie or settle down with one of the other women who seem to want his body, but I wish he would stop being so promiscuous, LOL That aside, this is a great series This particular book has a lot to say about the challenges to the mental health I like a series such as this with good plots, characters with whom you become engaged, and on top of that, information to mak...This is a really good book It is police procedural with a lot of threads, particularly about madness and how it is recognised and dealt with in this country I was wary because I had not read the earlier two books, but Hurley weaves the back story into this new investigation quite brilliantly The lead characters a...I loved how complex the Moncrief family were and how that meant the prime suspects were very unpredictable I enjoyed how the investigation took them across to Africa but for the let down was Suttles ex wife writing a book about the murder of their daughter Grace I can understand wanting answers, I cannot understand putting that information in the public domain or acquiring monetary gain from it It feels unsettling and almost a little queasy that there should be a profit in the death of any ch I loved how complex the Moncrief family were and how that

spring to mind could do betterAlthough I was convinced it was not so, my records tell me that this is the first novel by Graham Hurley that I have reviewed in this history of this blog The structure
