Review: Death of an Old Girl
Death of an Old Girl by Elizabeth Lemarchand
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
First written and published in the 60’s, This is the first in the Pollard and Toye series.
The rather unpopular Beatrice Baynes is missing but no one is too worried until her body is discovered in a classroom at the nearby private school.
Inspector Pollard and Seargeant Toye are sent to Upshire from Scotland Yard to investigate.
Death of an Old Girl is a classic police procedural with several suspects with seemingly no motive. There is some great writing in the vein of classic authors like Josephine Tey and George Bellairs, with great characters and intriguing mysteries.
thanks to the Publishers/NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review
