The Day After - Pat McDonald
The Day After is Book 4 in the Blue Woods mystery series, featuring Hugo Bott.
What happened to Hugo Bott after thirty years as a beat officer? Nobody really knows because they didn't see him leave when he retired. The quaint cottage where he lived was rented out, and he just disappeared.
Superintendent Luc Wariner is the newly assigned divisional commander of a quiet subdivision, that is, until the discovery of the brutal murders of Major Edward Barrington-Marsh and his wife, Cecily, in Upper Postle. He sends for his old friend and major crime unit colleague, Detective Inspector Aidey Carter, to investigate the murders and his suspicions regarding his CID unit.
When sightings are made early on the morning of the murders of a tall quiet stranger with a military gait visiting the village store at Postle, Luc and Aidey are reminded of Hugo Bott, their old colleague. Could he have finally found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, for first time in his life?
It is, after all, The Day After . . .
