"It was not until the fifth death in Long Greeting that Miss Tidy made up her mind to go to the police. And then from no sense of civic duty but because she knew her own security imperilled." So opens the fifth and final book by Bowers, first published in 1947, one year before her untimely death from TB at the age of 46. Scotland Yard is once again involved but Dan Pardoe, the investigating officer in the four previous books, has been replaced by Detective Inspector Raikes.

Bells of Old Bailey
Moves at a very slow pace but with an interesting depiction of the complexities of life in small-town England immediately after the second world war. I could have done without the regular asides about just how silly women are, though. Like this one: "Whatever those two children might have done, feminine criticism would have inferred the worst. Women were made that way." Read it if you have a taste for vintage crime novels of a rather old-fashioned sort.
