The Corpse at the Haworth Tandoori by Robert Barnard
The body of a young man, almost naked, found in the car park behind a Haworth restaurant marks the beginning of the case, and it is his identity that is the first puzzle for DC Charlie Peace and his superior, Detective Superintendent Oddie. But before long the puzzle that most concerns them is the nature of the close-knit artistic community where Declan O'Hearn had acted as odd-job boy. The little knot of people seem united less by their ability as painters than by a common worship of the distinguished artist Ranulph Byatt, who seems to prefer the adulation of his inferiors to the judgement of his equals. Peace soon starts to wonder if there isn't a sinister reason for this. And as the search for the killer gathers pace, Peace and Oddie uncover a series of dark secrets in the harsh Haworth landscape.
Barnard, Robert: - Robert Barnard is the award-winning author of dozens of mystery novels, many of them very funny. Barnard was a passionate fan of the performing arts, opera in particular, and his knowledge of the field, both the music and the people involved in presenting it, infuses a number of his books set in that world, such as Death and the Chaste Apprentice and Death on the High C's. Because his funny books were so gorgeously funny, Barnard has often been thought of as a specialist in wit. But the few serious mysteries he wrote, such as Out of the Blackout, are at least the equal of the funny ones.
