Beyond All Doubt by Paige Elizabeth Turner opens with a murder - but will the murderer be caught? An absorbing and realistic crime ‘will they catch' whodunit with a juicy twisty plot and well-drawn characters with lots of issues adding colour and interest. A body is found in the River Avon, but the victim and her fiancé live in Bournemouth, so the police concentrate investigations locally and think they have their man who they match the evidence to fit. But, even as prosecution looks likely, Detective Sergeant Oliva Watts still has doubts and keeps digging.
When Juanita Morales' body is found in the River Avon in Evesham after a late afternoon river cruise all fingers point to cruise operator Barry Simmons. Following Juanita's murder, her fiance Trevor sets about uncovering the gossip surrounding her death, but he's not as squeaky clean as he first seems. It's not long before other bodies start appearing and when a local newspaper journalist investigating Juanita's murder is found dead in her car people begin to question whether there's a link between the murders. Prosecutor Godfrey Postlewaite is adamant that Simmons is responsible for the murders and a tense courtroom contest ensues. But when police officer Olivia Watts uncovers a photograph of Trevor and Juanita together on the day she was murdered, Trevor's alibi is destroyed, which leaves the police wondering if he knows more than he's been letting on. Beyond All Doubt is a classic 'whodunnit' crime novel that will have the reader guessing until the very end. Written in the style of Sue Grafton, with elements of P. D. James, this book will appeal to fans of crime novels, particularly those who enjoy high-drama novels such as those by John Grisham.
