Review: Bryant & May: Strange Tide by Christopher Fowler

A Mysterious Review of Bryant & May: Strange Tide by Christopher Fowler. A Peculiar Crimes Unit Mystery.

Review summary: Full of witty humor, this complex though well-structured and briskly paced story of two “old codgers” investigating an “impossible” crime is incredibly appealing. Recommended. (Click here for text of full review.)

Our rating:

Bryant & May: Strange Tide
Christopher Fowler
A Peculiar Crimes Unit Mystery
Bantam (December 2016)

Publisher synopsis: Near the Tower of London, along the River Thames, the body of a woman has been discovered chained to a stone post and left to drown. Curiously, only one set of footprints leads to the tragic spot. "The Bride in the Tide," as the London press gleefully dubs her, has the PCU stumped. Why wouldn't the killer simply dump her body in the river — as so many do?

Arthur Bryant wonders if the answer lies in the mythology of the Thames itself. Unfortunately, the normally wobbly funhouse corridors of Bryant's mind have become, of late, even more labyrinthine. The venerable detective seems to be losing his grip on reality. May fears the worst, as Bryant rapidly descends from merely muddled to one stop short of Barking, hallucinating that he's traveled back in time to solve the case. There had better be a method to Bryant's madness — because, as more bodies are pulled from the river's depths, his partner and the rest of the PCU find themselves in over their heads.

A Merciful Truth by Kendra Elliot, A Mercy Kilpatrick Mystery (2nd in series)

Publisher: Montlake Romance

  

Raised by a family of survivalists, FBI agent Mercy Kilpatrick can take on any challenge — even the hostile reception to her homecoming. But she's not the only one causing chaos in the rural community of Eagle's Nest, Oregon. At first believed to be teenage pranks, a series of fires takes a deadly turn with the murder of two sheriff's deputies. Now, along with Police Chief Truman Daly, Mercy is on the hunt for an arsonist turned killer.

Still shunned by her family and members of the community, Mercy must keep her ear close to the ground to pick up any leads. And it's not long before she hears rumors of the area's growing antigovernment militia movement. If the arsonist is among their ranks, Mercy is determined to smoke the culprit out. But when her investigation uncovers a shocking secret, will this hunt for a madman turn into her own trial by fire?

Defectors by Joseph Kanon, A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Atria Books

 

In 1949, Frank Weeks, fair-haired boy of the newly formed CIA, was exposed as a Communist spy and fled the country to vanish behind the Iron Curtain. Now, twelve years later, he has written his memoirs, a KGB- approved project almost certain to be an international bestseller, and has asked his brother Simon, a publisher, to come to Moscow to edit the manuscript. It's a reunion Simon both dreads and longs for. The book is sure to be filled with mischief and misinformation; Frank's motives suspect, the CIA hostile. But the chance to see Frank, his adored older brother, proves irresistible.

And at first Frank is still Frank — the same charm, the same jokes, the same bond of affection that transcends ideology. Then Simon begins to glimpse another Frank, still capable of treachery, still actively working for "the service." He finds himself dragged into the middle of Frank's new scheme, caught between the KGB and the CIA in a fatal cat and mouse game that only one of the brothers is likely to survive.

And there's only one suspect when Noah turns up murdered.

Margaret Louise, Jake's mother and one of the founding members of the sewing circle, isn't about to take the attack on her son's reputation lying down. In fact, she's in full mama-bear mode.
