Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Blakemore and Coswell (Book 4)
RCMP Inspector Coswell is back. A university professor is murdered and his corpse is revealed to a first year anatomy class in spectacular fashion--nude on a slab alongside shrouded medical cadavers. He begins his investigation with Corporal James, his long time assistant, but is abruptly assigned a new partner, a female officer who arrives under a political cloud. Already depressed by his perceived plunge into senility, Coswell struggles to stifle his own gender biases and work effectively with this woman. Their list of suspects grows: failed students, a jealous colleague, an intriguing ex-wife and a criminal cartel. Clues emerge that send them all over the city of Vancouver from UBC campus to downtown and its gourmet restaurants. Praise for The Extra Cadaver Murder "It's my first time reading Roy Innes, a retired eye surgeon. I have to assume from his precise prose and skillful plotting that he was a demon with the scalpel.... a quick and readable book. Innes does a great job setting the scene." ~ Margaret Cannon, The Globe and Mail "The Extra Cadaver Murder is a multi-faceted novel, with complex characters and realistic details, doubling as a sympathetic portrayal of the difficulties faced by women and gay officers in the RCMP." ~ James Paley, BC BookWorld Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Canadian book? Check! Murder mystery? Check! Female lead who is realistic? Check! What more can a Canadian book lover, like myself, ask for?!
Roy Innes has crafted one amazing book that had me hooked to every word. I almost binged this book (you can blame all of my homework for that one) and I could barely put it down! Seriously, it was a real struggle walking away from this book!
James and Coswell work on identifying the murderer of a university professor, all the while dealing with gender biases. Throw in the RCMP, some very complicated relationships and twists and turns you won't see coming, and you've got yourself a real hit!
There were times in this book where the speed slowed down and it dragged on. Despite the small pacing issue, I had no problems with this book. It felt like a standalone, it didn't have a cliffhanger and it felt really smart. I'd absolutely read another book by Roy Innes any day of the week! I just have to get my hands on one of those suckers...
In general, the book doesn't stand out or do anything that other mystery novels haven't already. We have a female lead dealing with gender bias, an aging officer dealing with all the joys of getting old and the obvious "who dunnit?' storyline that leads you one way then takes you another. You wouldn't be able to see the ending coming since not all characters are introduced right away, but I still think it's a fun ride. I absolutely enjoyed this book and want more!
Four out of five stars!
