I enjoy the Cherringham series by the writing team of Costello and Richards. Sometimes an afternoon calls for a simple break and a revisit with ex-NYC police officer Jack and native Cherringham resident Sarah.
When adored resident Otto Brendl is found dead before he is to perform a Punch-and-Judy show with his much-loved puppets, the locals are devastated. But it turns out that Otto wasn’t who everyone thought he was and when Jack and Sarah do a little digging it turns out that Otto was a person to be despised and maybe his death, though heinous, was a type of justice.
The Cherringham stories aren’t obvious from the start, there is usually a twist or character turn that has the reader sitting up a bit and realizing that the path they thought they were on took a serious left turn and they are right back in the muck with Jack and Sarah as the story divulges the unexpected.
