Taken from the bookbag. I like Minette Walters.
In a small Hampshire village, Irish labourer Patrick O'Riordan has been arrested for the brutal murder of elderly Lavinia Fanshaw and her live-in nurse, Dorothy Jenkins.
Lots of twists and turns and a surprise ending.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Taking to the meet-up at Palmerston
picked up at our meet-up this morning - thought I had read all of Minette Walker's work - so was amazed to find one I hadn't - whoo hop!!!!
What a clever little story - twists and turns about as the reader gradually gets to the truth. A man is in jail for murdering a neighbour. His disabled parents are being persecuted by the villagers, angry that their son did such horrible crime. The man and his parents swear he is innocent of murder.
The dates and times switched around, and took me a while to 'tune' into what the time period was. This did jar slightly on the flow of the story, but not too much.
Minette Walters does this a bit with her writings, so I was not surprised. She also used a few 'newspaper articles' to fill in a bit of the background, which again is a technique she uses when she wants to give the reader some information but can't get a character to do it.
