My review.



The Wickham Market Murder by Iain Maitland. Bloomfield & Palmer Book 1. Evelyn Maud Roberts has been found stabbed to death. Who killed her? Its up to William and bloomfield to find out. They have 4 suspects. Fisk Nunn and howes or Mellor? I enjoyed this book. Couldn't put it down. I do hope there is more to come. 5*.



Blurb.



Thomas Waugh Suffolk, 1907. Wickham Market’s local constable William Palmer spends his days yearning to solve a significant case so he can earn his detective's badge. But Palmer is torn, because he is also in love with the school mistress Alice Kemp who doesn’t want to leave the village. One night, the night of a dramatic storm, there is a murder. A housemaid – Evelyn Maud Roberts - is found stabbed to death at the local vicarage. Palmer has his chance to make a name for himself. The local doctor declares that Evelyn was six months pregnant. And the vicar’s daughter, Charlotte Mellor, names three men who may have reason to commit murder; Walter Fisk, soon-to-be-master at the workhouse; Albert Nunn, the postman; Frederick Hawes, the slow-witted village boy in love with Evelyn. Palmer investigates. But he only has so much time before Inspector Bloomfield – the veteran detective from Suffolk Police - arrives from Ipswich to take over the case. And before the killer strikes again.
