The anger of fear by Jeffrey Ashford

Ranson Town by Peter Alding
This police procedural set in Great Britain just dragged at first, with different DI'sand DC's jockeying for status and complaining about the system. Inspectors putting the screws on informants and suspects and tarts. It was short enough that I pushed my way through to the solution. Not especially interesting, tho I did learn quite a few British colloquialsims, so it's getting thinned out of our small library to make room for something more appealing.

Exhibit No. Thirteen by Roderic Jeffries
Detective Sergeant Rusk is instructed to question known sex offences in the area when a body of a young women is discovered. He finds that he knows one of the names of the list, someone he knew from school - J E R Kremayne.
Then a second female is found with the same m.o.
Liked the plot twist, an interesting mystery.
