- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is #4 in the Inspector Woodend series. THE DARK LADY begins with a prologue set on the Liverpool docks in November 1946, in which a man who appears to have been a German soldier is murdered.The war is only recently ended and most of the investigating police team believe, like most of the British population still does, that the only good German is a dead German. So little effort is put into solving the murder, or even in finding out who the dead man is.The book then jumps about 15 years and another German has been killed. This time his identity is known for he is a time-and-motion manager at British Chemical Industries. Charlie Woodend and Bob Rutter have been sent from Scotland Yard to Cheshire to carry out the investigation. The local police force have already decided on the culprit, they just can't find him.On the same night that Gerhard Schulz was murdered a local ghost known as "The Dark Lady" is seen riding her black horse down a nearby lane. Woodend discovers that it may have been over 15 years since the end of the war, but there is a high level of animosity between recent immigrants: Germans, Italians and Poles.The author gives an interesting insight to the post-war period, in addition to writing a nicely constructed murder mystery. For me the Woodend series are becoming comfortable reads. The plots are well constructed police procedurals and the main characters well fleshed out.
