Description

Bingo the retriever goes for a walk one morning with his owner in the sleepy village of Goat Parva in England. Bingo runs off and returns with a pair of shoes that were last seen adorning the feet of well-known voyeur Clem Shapiro. 


Inspector Colin Knowles and Sergeant Rod Barnes have to find out why someone battered Clem with a rock in his favourite rhododendron as he watched his neighbour take off her clothes.
As Knowles investigates, the secret lives and illicit affairs of the inhabitants of this one time model of English Country Life all begin to be revealed due to his dogged persistence. What seemed a fairly simple case rapidly deteriorates under a growing mountain of suspects and witnesses. 
Scratch the surface of this sleepy hamlet and it seems everybody has a motive to want somebody else dead. Will Knowles and Barnes find the killer in time before someone else is killed?
This is a fast-paced romp with plenty of witty dialogue between Knowles and Barnes as they race to catch the killer

What a brilliant, thrilling, exciting read this novel was! The Goat Parva Murders was an incredibly great read for me, it may be a crime novel but something about it felt different and special compared to the average everyday crime novels we see today. It felt different and special and entertained and enthralled me beginning to end thanks to its compelling plot and wonderful characters.

The Goat Parva Murders is a compelling, thrilling piece of literature that hooked and enthralled me from beginning to end. It is a unique, eccentric novel that is character heavy and I adored this. This book reminded me of old fashioned English, day time crime detective shows and this made me fall in love with the book even more as it reminded me of the time when I grew up in England watching these with my father! So this really did make me fall in love even more with this brilliant, compelling story. Because the plot is so brilliant I do not want to spoil it at all, that is why I have decided not to discuss the premise as I do not want you lovely readers to be spoiled!

The author of the novel Julian Worker is a magnificent writer and a wonderful story teller. His writing is very well written and constructed incredibly well all whilst being extremely fascinating. The Goat Parva Murders was mind-blowingly brilliant for me and I was beyond impressed by the wonderful literature throughout this book; it is the kind of novel that will stay with the reader for a long time, the kind of novel that will leave a mark and the kind of novel that will entertain you from beginning to end.

One thing I really appreciated about Julian Worker was the amount of exciting detail he had included in his work, it is rich and vivid and sent my mind into over drive, it is an imaginative story that kept me hooked and intrigued until the very end and these are the kind of books I adore to read! I was impressed with the writer’s world building of the small, English town, the unique, eccentric characters and let’s do not forget the thrilling plot of the novel! It is a magnificent story and I would implore all of you lovely readers to fall in love with this brilliant inspector book!

To summarise my thoughts on this brilliant book, I would say if you adore mysteries that will keep you hooked and entertained beginning to end then you will love this novel! This wonderful book gets Five Stars from me!
