    About this audiobook

    Peter Marlin's wife is found strangled and he becomes the prime suspect.

    She'd only just returned from an unexplained absence of several months. And during that time, Peter had found a new lover. Everything points to the husband but there's no real proof.

    Inspector John Crow is called in to help the local police. But his new colleagues aren't keen on an outsider. And Crow must solve the case before anyone else dies.

    Inspector John Crow

    Skeletally-built, mild-mannered Inspector John Crow is established in the Murder Squad in London and constantly meets hostility when he is called upon to work on murder cases in regional crime squads in Wales and the Midlands. He displays strong moral feelings, and a sensitivity which brings him into conflict with regional staff as he doggedly and successfully pursues the truth in cases where he is called in.

      Jeannette Marlin has been killed and her husband Peter comes under suspicion but he is not charged.
      It is not until after the inquest that Inspector Crow from Scotland Yard is called in to investigate.
      First published in 1969 and this is reflected in the different style of the story. But I did enjoy the mystery, a good solid start to this re-publishing of the series.

      A Lover Too Many by Roy LoomisInspector John Crow Book 1Wanting to read what was touted as a reissue of a “classic mystery from an acclaimed writer” first published in the late 60’s I thought, “Why not?” I was in high school when this book was published and do remember days without cell phones and all the gadgets that no doubt have been developed to solve crimes more easily over the past fifty years or so. And, I kind of wondered how mystery novels have evolved over half a century, too. So, in I jumped meeting Inspector Crow on his first published murder mystery story. The writing and crime solving and action is definitely different with less police procedural description and more description of people and thoughts and events instead. I believe in the past readers, including myself, relied on words to fill our minds and senses differently than we might these days when special effects and fast paced books and viewing options are so much more dynamic. That is not a bad thing…it just is. I did enjoy the book. It took me back in time to an era when drinking and driving were more a norm than a taboo and to a time when societal expectations were different. Crow was reticent and didn’t seem to share his thinking often in solving of the case as many newer crime series tend to do. It was a tamer story in some ways rather than action-packed. I did some sleuthing of my own and have a feeling this book may be the author’s first published book as later series are all dated in the 80’s rather than earlier on. The blurb about the author says he has published over sixty books and I wonder how his writing developed over time so may look for another book by him in the future. Did I enjoy the book? Yes & NoYes because it is a classic and took me back in timeNo because it did not grab my attention as quickly as some others Would I read more in the series or by this author? I think soThank you to NetGalley and Joffe Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.3-4 Stars
