Peter Lovesey – Peter Diamond – It’s time to enjoy! Killing in Confetti, Peter Lovesey’s newest novel in the series starring Peter Diamond, head of Bath Police’s CID, is now released in paperback. Peter Lovesey has won practically every crime-writing award there is, and one glance at any of his novels will show you why. Killing in Confetti is no exception.
As the novel opens Warren is hoping for early release from Her Majesty’s Prison Bream, but – wouldn’t you know? – it all goes wrong when he discovers that there’s a plan for a riot afoot, a plan that affects him. It also affects the prison governor, Magda Lyle. But that all happened back in the day. In the here and now, Ben Brace is set on marrying his partner Caroline. And guess what? That brings its problems too. Caroline has to break the terrible news to him that she is the daughter of a major crook, Joe Irving. Unfortunately, Ben is the son of Bath’s Deputy Chief Constable. It’s Peter Diamond’s job to make sure that nothing goes wrong at the wedding, and that’s quite a task.
With its unexpected twists and turns, Peter Lovesey scores another hit with Killing with Confetti, keeping the reader guessing all the way to the altar.
