Featured review
Bullet from the Past
When the dead body of Matthew Grant is found in his home.It looks like a suicide.
However according to the forensic lab. The bullet was that killed him was not fired by the gun near his body.
In fact the gun the bullet was fired from was once owned by Audrey Spencer. She was murdered on board a ship 27 years previously. No one was convicted of her killing. Scotland Yard kept such details on their files.
With the neighbours not hearing anything. To crack the case requires a lot of police legwork.
Inspector Berkeley is called into the case. The Royal Mail sorting office workers have to identify a letter with a particular style of handwriting.
A lead that takes Inspector Berkeley to a married couple with links to the dead man.
Another solid instalment of Scotland Yard. Ballard Berkeley plays Inspector Berkeley. He could never forget his character's name. Ironic given that he played the doddery Major in Fawlty Towers.
I think Edgar Lustgarten makes an attempt at humour at this one. Two cases are cracked for the price of one.
