A Carriage of Misjustice (Lindenshaw Mysteries #5) by Charlie Cochrane




Blurb:
Murder doesn't care if you're a newlywed.

Detective Chief Inspector Robin Bright and Deputy Headteacher Adam Matthews have just tied the knot, and all they want to do is sink into blissful domesticity. Unfortunately, there’s no chance of that when a chilling murder at a rugby ground takes Robin miles away to help his old boss solve it.

The mystery seems impossible to crack. Everyone with a motive has an alibi, and those without alibis don’t have a motive. Robin’s determined that this won’t be the case he’s unable to unravel. Not when he’s got his old boss to impress and a new team to lick into shape.

Back at home, Adam joins a fundraising choir to keep himself occupied. Surely a case that’s so far away won’t draw him in this time? Fate has other ideas, though, and danger turns up—quite literally—on his doorstep. He’ll need Campbell the Newfoundland for both company and protection this time around.

My review:
Detective Chief Inspector Robin Bright, Deputy Headteacher Adam Matthews and their adorable newfi Campbell are back in another convoluted murder mystery. This story has our newly married guys having to split because Robin has been called to his old precinct to help out when one of theirs is out with appendicitis. I love these stories but this one has a lot of rugby terms and UK idioms that I wasn’t able to quite follow. But that aside our guys are just as adorable as ever and I guessed the murderer right this time. If you like British murder mysteries this series is for you.
