About this book
It is August 1974. A respected teacher at a private girls’ school in rural
Worcestershire, Adrian Carrick, physically attracted to one of the
Sixth-Form leavers, discloses his feelings for her. Convinced that he has
mishandled their final meeting, he writes her a letter of regret and then
kills himself by leaping over the edge of a quarry. The coroner’s verdict is
suicide while the balance of his mind is disturbed. Not all is as it
appears, however, and Inspector Wickfield is called in to take a look. His
investigation leads him to Venice, where Carrick seemingly led a double life
as the owner of an art gallery which acted as a base for international
crime, to St.Gallen and Bologna, to Hereford and Birmingham, to Pershore and
the suburbs of Worcester, without significant success. A second murder adds
increasing urgency to the case. Interleaved in the investigation are the
members of Mr Carrick’s philosophy class, in particular the girl who had
caught Carrick’s eye. The case is solved through two startling pieces of
intuition, which confirm the inspector’s place at the top of his profession
and his wife, Beth, as his steady muse.
In Mr Carrick is Laid to Rest, Julius Falconer has again provided the
discerning public with a tightly-woven, deft and thought-provoking novel in
the best traditions of British detective fiction. It will defy your efforts
to put it down, and Inspector Wickfield will take his place in the pantheon
of greats.
