Review Ricochet / Ulverscroft Large Print:When Professor Mayhew is murdered in her own home, Jack Stryker's team believe they are investigating a straightforward case of domestic homicide. Jack, however, has his doubts, though he isn't sure whether his uncertain frame of mind is due to the case or the fact that his relationship with Kate Trevorne is going through a rocky patch. Kate, meanwhile, has been receiving a series of unpleasant and anonymous phone calls at her department in the university. Too proud and stubborn to ask Jack for professional help, she decides to trace the caller herself. Then a student of the dead professor is murdered in an unsavoury part of town while he was working his shift as porter in the hospital's emergency department. It could have been a mugging which went too far, except that a few hours beforehand he had called the police station and spoken to Jack in some distress. What possible motive could link the two killings, and is Kate's refusal to tell Jack about the phone calls preventing him from knowing all the facts? Another blissfully serpentine mystery from the mistress of the genre.

It starts with Nell Masters, a sixteen- year-old fatherless girl, born midst the slums and grog houses of Old Portsmouth. A place where children beg as mud larks, some, for the fun and experience, but more often for the price of a meal. Nell becomes a seamstress. She is forced to be the bread winner by a work shy mother who has secrets of her own. Nell is a pretty girl: a quality that is soon to cause her problems with some of her fellow seamstresses. Dislike for the girl becomes something more sinister. Scheming work associates lead Nell into a dark world of rape, murder and a shameful unwanted pregnancy. Has her life reached the bottom of a deep chasm, where events cannot get any worse; or is fate planning a landslide? Why not don your slippers, sit back in that easy chair and come wallow with those Angels of the mud.
