Well written, and engaging. What you'd expect up to about half way. After that it suddenly takes a turn for the bizarre.
Not the kind of the mystery where you can have a go at working it out yourself, or possibly predict what will happen next.
Good if you like outre mysteries.

It's Manchester in the 1970's and Detective Inspector Gregory Vaughn has been called to the scene of a car accident to find the driver dead and a doll in the passenger seat, posed exactly like the victim. With a note stating that this is the first of six.
Can Vaughn find the motive and the killer before all six are killed.
Should be said that the British don't have homicides as written in this book they have murders.

A cut up body is found in a rural post box and the police are mystified by the motive and identify of the killer.
Richard Montrose, a clockmaker and crime hobbyist decides to investigate and solve the crime before the police but Chief Inspector James Holbrooke is suspicious of his involvement.
I felt it was a bit of an anti-climax ending.
