The Ludlow Mystery is a gripping and intriguing novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

When a Member of Parliament requests an investigation into the suicide of his constituent's son, Assistant Commissioner sees two opportunities in this request - to have an MP owing him a favor and to get rid of Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers, whose career at the Met has been hanging by a thread for quite some time.

So he assigns Havers to the case and partners her with the one person who shares his wish to see the back of her, Detective Chief Superintendent Isabelle Ardery.

But Ardery has her own difficulties - she is not happy to be sent away from London and overlooks important things as a result.

As Havers and Lynley investigate, they uncover an earlier crime that sets everything in motion and must confront the past to solve the case.

With its cozy, bucolic setting and intricate plot, The Ludlow Mystery is a must-read for fans of British detective fiction.
