Publishers Weekly:
In Challinor's satisfying eighth Rex Graves mystery, the Scottish barrister travels to quiet Notting Hamlet, Bedfordshire, at the request of his widowed friend, Malcolm Patterson, a bumbling retired medical pathologist who in a panic tampered with evidence related to four unsolved murders. For now, the only suspect is the house agent who represented all four victims in the midst of selling their properties. (...) An intuitive sleuth, Rex befriends the locals in his effort to find the crucial connection among the deceased. Smooth prose will keep cozy fans turning the pages.
